This book was first written in about 1985 and has been continually updated as needed in new printings. As a co-author, I’d like to thank Gail Hamilton as when she was at McCalls, she told me to write a book about sergers. We were teaching serger workshops after all. Sergers were more complicated then, so I took an old Babylock apart to see how it functioned. Gail Brown and I were a great team as I want to know why and how things work and I have a gift of writing technical instructions. Gail was the creative one and added garment techniques. I’d also like to thank Marta Alto who did our serger DVDs for her contributions to serger techniques over the years. This little handbook is well worth having in your sewing room. If you want to see all of the creative uses for a serger, get the DVD Creative Serging.
