Deco Serging - Decorative Serging Techniques

I have read several books on serging, and I rank this in the top. Not only does it give techniques, but it explains the various parts of the serger and what they do and how they can be used to vary your results. Tension on the serger has always been a problem for me. In her book, April explains not what the tension should be, but shows clear pictures on how the results should look, since it differs according to fabric being used. After explaining the serger, she goes over different threads, and why certain ones are better for using in different parts of the serger than others, and which needles to use with them. Then, she goes over several techniques of decorative stitches. Step-by-step directions are given along with clear pictures. I would recommend "Deco Serging" for anyone owning a serger that, like I was at first, may be afraid of the machine, or someone that may want to do more with theirs than they realized it would do.
