I've always loved Nancy Zieman and this how-to-serge book from her is wonderful. I first picked this book up from the library when I was toying with the idea of buying myself a serger. Without a serger in front of me, I was kind of baffled by the technical terms that are used in this book. (i.e. overlock stitch, upper and lower loopers, etc.) But once I bought my Brother 3034D serger everything fell into place. Figuring out how to use my serger wasn't that hard for me so I haven't really used Zieman's book for this purpose, but rather, for the unique techniques and projects she demonstrates. I highly recommend this book for anyone starting out and for those who want to try something new with their serger!
