Very helpful and informative...having some serging experience prior to watching this DVD will help, otherwise it might be a bit overwhelming.
A MUST for new sergers...I loved it. Extremely well taught and informative.
I have bought and read several 'serger' how to books, the information on using various threads, ribbons and yes, even yarn are covered here and nowhere else, to this extent. If for no other reason, I would recommend this video. Claire
This is a pretty good serging video... for those of us who like to supplement books with video.
Yes the video was technically great and info well done, plus the presenters talk slowly enough so that you can focus on the content and visual. Thanks. Patricia
Excellent dvd. Much easier than sitting through a class and very informative.
