It’s fully illustrated with both photos and line drawings, and offers complete instructions for every type of serger available to the hobbyist today. Each one is listed by brand, with a description of its pros and cons. And that’s not all; there are plenty of projects, too, including scarves, throws, shirts, gowns, bedcovers, and quilts.
