Making the Most of Your Sewing Machine & Serger Accessories

by JoAnn Pugh-Gannon

Help your sewing machine and serger serve you as never before! Knowing all the ins-and-outs of every feature and a range of accessories, plus special tricks for doing those sometimes-delicate jobs, make sewing a lot easier. With practice, it will become second nature to use a gathering foot rather than a long stitch for soft ruffles; to make and attach piping in a single step; and add binding quickly and simply. Go point by point through labeled photos of the machines; then see the challenges posed by different stitches, threads, and fabrics...and how to meet them with style. Perfect every technique, and try them on projects that include a chair cover, sweet dream pillows, clothing, and more.
