Meet author, designer and sewing expert Linda Lee and begin by unraveling the differences among overlock, flatlock, chain and cover stitches, and the machines that make them. Linda helps you choose your machine(s), then shares tips on basic serger stitching.

Find out how to use overlock stitches on fashion fabrics, both knit and woven. Linda explains how to get the modern look of exposed seams, decorative edgings and hems.

Rolled hems, French seams, and making and inserting piping may sound like high-fashion treatments you'd only achieve on a sewing machine, but you can do them all with your serger! Linda shows you how.
