From pintucking and piping to quilting, shirring, and inserting a zipper-- this book has the step-by-step instructions and detailed photographs sewers need to get the most from their sergers. In Serger Secrets you'll find:
Mary Griffin: You may recognize Mary's name because she has published ideas and tips in Sew News, Sew Beautiful, and The Experts Book of Sewing Tips and Techniques. She also presents sewing and serging seminars and classes across the country. And for the past nine years she has been a Singer Educational consultant.
Her career path started in nursing, but a desire for change sent her back to school for an M.S. in textiles and clothing. This is where she discovered the pleasure she gets from teaching. Soon she was involved with both college and adult-education courses
She helps sewers relax and have fun on their sergers while discovering a variety of techniques. In her own words, "I draw on my own adventures in learning to help my students get over their fears, and I like it that they always teach me something, too."
Pam Hastings: Years ago, who would have guessed that an entire career would be launched when Pam stitched up Christmas gifts for a family pet?
She won't divulge just how many years ago that was, but suffice it to say that she's worked in the sewing industry for 18 years. The adventure started when she graduated from Keene State College in New Hampshire. After working for various companies in the industry, she switched to freelance consulting several years ago.
She's been a guest on various television programs and has written for publications. You might have read her book, Creative Projects for Machine Embroidery.
Agnes Mercik: Agnes has had a long and illustrious career that spans the continents. She has received awards, written numerous books, and has an active teaching schedule.
Her association with Bernina has taken her around the world: regularly to many parts of the United States, plus Australia and Hong Kong. In 1991, the company designated her "The Outstanding Sewing Specialist"
Agnes has contributed to several successful sewing and serging books and international sewing and craft publications. She was the main writer and technician for Bernina of America's "The Advanced Serger Guide and Supplement," and her design patterns have appeared in national ad and consumer programs. Her latest book, Appliqué Innovations, has opened up an exciting new world of machine-art expression.
Linda Lee Vivian: With many years of sewing experience, specializing in decoratively serged garments and embellishments on uniquely pieced clothing, Linda is fondly called the "Serger Lady" by those who know her best.
Linda worked for years in the home decorating field and has experience in pattern making. Now Linda owns her own business, Linda Lee Originals, and teaches serger techniques through shops, guilds, and national conventions. In addition, she has published a full line of patterns and educational materials on serging.
Linda has taught thousands of students to be comfortable with their sergers. Her goal is to help everyone become knowledgeable and comfortable in the exciting world of decorative serging. She has shared her knowledge on several PBS-TV shows such as "Quilting for the 90's" and "Kaye's Quilting Friends," and many of Linda's designs have appeared on other PBS shows as well. She helped organize the "Love Quilt Connection" and wrote for Serger Update. She also contributes to a sewing machine company's educational materials.
Linda loves the serger and helps others learn to love theirs as well.
Barbara Weiland: Barbara's lifelong passion for sewing began when she was a child. From doll clothes to dresses, she's sewn them all.
Her early hobby led to a B.S. in Textiles and Clothing from Colorado State University. She has held editorial positions at Butterick Publishing, Palmer/Pletsch, and Storey Communications. She was also the editor-in-chief of That Patchwork Place and the co-author of numerous sewing books.
Her most recent book is Secrets for Successful Sewing, published by Rodale Press. In this comprehensive book, Barbara explains scores of sewing machine and serger techniques.
And excellent teacher, Barbara has taught sewing workshops and contributed to other books, including the Singer Sewing Reference Library series. Her work also frequently appears in sewing magazines such as Sew News, where she was once the editor-in-chief. Now Barbara is a freelance editor, writer and sewing consultant.
