Book Reviews of Creative Serging: Innovative Applications to Get the Most from Your Serger
Book Review: Limited Utility
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is really only useful to those who have newer sergers that chain & coverstitch. There are 2 helpful pages each on stabilizers, thread, & accessories - out of 170+ pages of text. The text is written in a gushing "golly, gosh, aren't we irreverent & fun" style. The project instructions are sketchy, more outlines than instructions. In the end it doesn't matter, as the projects themselves are so unattractive & home-made looking I wouldn't ever consider making them. A disappointing waste of money.Book Review: THIS is the serger book that deals with Cover & Chain Stitches!
Summary: 4 Stars
I went through so many serger books before I finally found this one that gives tips & ideas for using the cover & chain stitch functions on the TOL sergers!! The book is worth the purchase price just for that. It also contains good basic, entry level serger information, and some interesting garment projects that will help you stretch your serging muscles and get you thinking about all kinds of creative possibilities.Book Review: Creative Serging
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. It has lots of photos and the instructions are accurate. Lots of ideas, too.Book Review: disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I found this book very disappointing. I have a large collection of sewing & serging books that are inspiring and useful, and this book isn't either of those. There are few applications in this book I would ever use, and it most likely will just sit on the shelf.
