Book Index/Chapter headings The book is a complete guide to sewing with a serger. The chapters include: Introducing Sergers, Basic Serger Techniques, Adjusting the Stitches, Introducing Sergers, Garment Construction, and Special Effects.

PaperBack or HardBound? Softbound

Does this book have clear illustrations or photographs? This book has excellent explanations and illustrations of 3, 4, and 5 thread overlock stitches. This is my go to book when I'm having trouble adjusting the tension. The examples are actual photos and each thread is a different color which is invaluable for a newbie serger user.

Would you recommend this book as a MUST HAVE? I bought and read two books cover to cover when I bought my serger earlier this year. (The Ultimate Serger Answer Book is the other book) The Singer book is the one that I turn to 9 times out of 10 when I'm having tension adjustment issues. The garment construction and special effects chapters are also well illustrated and documented.

I highly recommend this book!
