Synopsis

Maximize your time and intensify your thrill of serging with this super idea book. All the patterns are full size or have simple to follow directions to make your own patterns. Sewers of all ages and backgrounds will find something fulfilling to sew for themselves or as a gift.

Sue Hausmann, Vice President of Husqvarna Viking Sewing Company and star of TV’s “America Sews” wrote the forward for the book. Everyone who owns a Viking sewing machine and a lot who don’t, know Sue.

The newest features on most brands top of the line sergers are the cover hem and the chain stitch. This book has an entire section devoted to creative use of these new features. No other serger project book has capitalized on these techniques.

Many of my customers browse the book section looking for inspiration that’s compatible with their skill level. There are 56 projects in the book, all of which are not intimidating, even to someone of low to moderate sewing skills.

These are fresh new ideas and not just a rehash of formerly published projects. Most of these wonderful projects sew up in two hours or less, which fits in with today’s busy lifestyles. The ladies in serger classes have all helped me test these projects.“Speedy Checkbook Covers” was a particular favorite because it doesn’t look like anything until it’s turned and then you’re done. It produced many giggles and “Wow, that’s great” comments.
