If you want to sew with knit fabric, a serger or overlocker is your
best bet. Both those machines trim, stitch, and overlock in one
action, and sergers are often able to perform additional types of
stitches and have room for more spools of thread, allowing for the
use of more colors. Color photographs with the parts of each type
of machine labeled are accompanied here by short explanations of
who might use it, what they might use it for, and technical
features. Also enumerated are accessories and tools used with these
machines and the types of fabrics they’re designed for as well as
detailed photo illustrations of stitches and instructions on how to
thread the machine and adjust the tension. All machines shown are
Singers, though the concepts should translate to most other brands.
In addition to the technical information, 15 projects take the
reader through 50 lessons, each teaching a new technique. Projects
include clothing, accessories, home décor, and more. Twelve
full-size patterns on large format paper are stored in a back
pocket.
