Introduction from the Editor

I've been having a love affair for years, and it is time to let everyone know. I'm in love with my serger. I have been a serger user since 1981 and a serger owner since 1983. As I write this, I'm somewhat in shock when sewers approach me asking about the hottest machine on the marker - a serger. I always thought that everybody had one and had on on going love affair with their serger, just like I did.

After my first serged stitch, I discovered true love. I fell in love with this machine because of its innovation, its speed and its professionalism.

To be honest, I know that I would not enjoy sewing as much as I do if I didn't own a serger. The serger eliminates much of the 'fussiness' and 'homemade' look of wearables, home decor and, most importantly, the gift items I love to make and give to family and friends

What sewers have told me they want is more great serger projects. So read forth, get your serger ready to sew and be careful, you're bound to fall in love, just like I did.
