  Thanks

• 2. Jill  |  May 12th, 2009 at 5:46 am

  I need this book–I don’t have alot of experience

• 3. Debi Merrill  |  May 12th, 2009 at 6:26 am

  I have owned a serger sewing maching for many years and am scared to death to touch it – I don’t know how to use it. I recieved it as a gift and it is quite intimidating. Having a “get to know your serger” book with step by step instructions would ensure it coming off the shelf collecting dust and my abilities in sewing to go forward.

• 4. carole post  |  May 12th, 2009 at 6:48 am

  I also have a serger,I have not used. with all it’s capabilities, it would be nice to utelize them all. This would be information to rectifiy all those problems and more.

• 10. Rosemary Meeks  |  May 12th, 2009 at 7:25 am

  I would dearly love to have this book. I own a serger, but have never learned to use it. It would make some sewing so very much nicer and easier if I used the serger. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to win this lovely and informative book.

• 13. Mary Gregor  |  May 12th, 2009 at 7:29 am

• 15. Catherine Vautour  |  May 12th, 2009 at 7:49 am

  I use my serger all the time but I am aways looking for other ways to use it –I aways thought there must be other things I could do with my serger -but I guess I might need a book that can show me how –my daughter and granddaughter also use it –so that is a way to get them to visit me

• 16. Janet Selman  |  May 12th, 2009 at 7:52 am

  I have often thought I should buy a serger. If I win this book it will encourage me to do so. Keeping my fingers crossed

• 17. Theresa Christophersen  |  May 12th, 2009 at 8:12 am

  I have been wanting to buy a serger for a long time, but have been afraid to because it seems so intimidating. This book would be a great incentive to learn how to use a serger.

• 18. Judy Drabiuk  |  May 12th, 2009 at 8:17 am

  I would love to win this book. I have owned a serger for many years now, have taken a couple courses, but, alas, I cannot grasp the concept of the thing. I would love it to be more than a thing – from the sounds of it, the book just might give me that excitement back – I really do love to sew.

• 24. Sharon Rhubart  |  May 12th, 2009 at 8:38 am

  I learned to use a serger when I was in high school.( almost 40 years ago) I went to school half a day and the other half I took industrial sewing at trade school. I havent’ touch a serger in years but would love to see whats new and use one at home. Hope I win

• 25. Anna Meier  |  May 12th, 2009 at 8:43 am

  I too am interested in buying a serger, but just didn’t know. My granddaughter was born with a short left leg and arm and I think a serger would be handy to fix all her clothes. She is also a canidate for a leg lengthening surgery and I will need to modify her clothes in order to fit over the device that will hold the pins in place. I would love to win the book to help me decide if this would help.

• 26. Kim R.  |  May 12th, 2009 at 8:50 am

  Please enter me in your great book giveaway – Thanks!

• 27. E. L. Richter  |  May 12th, 2009 at 8:54 am

  What little I can do on a serger, I’ve taught myself. At 65 yrs+ and with 3 more great grands due before the end of the year, a book like this would be a wonderful and money saving blessing. Keeping my fingers crossed!

• 28. Char Gates  |  May 12th, 2009 at 9:00 am

  I have felt serging would be a real asset to my sewing, but need pointers to guide me as I sew.

• 29. P P Walker  |  May 12th, 2009 at 9:09 am

  Thank you for this wonderful giveaway.

  II would love to win this book! I have had a serger for years, but never felt comfortable enough to really use it since I am not familar with all the things you can do with the serger. It is a very intimating trying to figure it all out by yourself. Thanks..

• 31. Akshata  |  May 12th, 2009 at 9:28 am

• 33. Sherri Hannahs  |  May 12th, 2009 at 9:40 am

  I am currrently making preemie clothes to donate to our local nicu and desperately looking for a server to make smaller seams for these little people. A book with more ideas and instructions would be a fantastic add to my sewing notions.

  WOULD LOVE TO LEARN THIS – SEE IT ON TV AND AM ENVIOUS

• 35. Sally Sparks  |  May 12th, 2009 at 9:59 am

  The last gift my Mom ever gave me was a surger to go with my sewing machine. She was going to show me how to use it but passed on before that happened. I have tried to teach myself and haven’t had much luck doing that. I am sure I would benefit from this book very much. This book is a great give away item.

• 36. Janet F.  |  May 12th, 2009 at 10:00 am

• 43. Denise W.  |  May 12th, 2009 at 11:38 am

  I, too, have owned a serger for many years. It continues to sit on the shelf in the craft closet because I am clueless as to how to use it. I did try to serge it e a shift dress once, and it came out disastrously. I would love to learn how to serge correctly as I have many sewing projects on my to-do list!

• 44. Donna  |  May 12th, 2009 at 11:43 am

  I love sergers! And this book will be soooo helpful! And I will be more copies, for gifts. Yahoo

• 45. Macy Lewars  |  May 12th, 2009 at 11:48 am

  I have a serger; it became unthreaded and now it’s just sitting there, because I’m scared to death of messing it up trying to rethread it! This book would go a long way to boosting my self-confidence!

• 46. Katherine Flaherty  |  May 12th, 2009 at 12:12 pm

  This book would be fantastic! I’ve always wanted to learn how to use a serger!

• 49. Lynda  |  May 12th, 2009 at 12:37 pm

  I have a serger, but don’t really know how to use it. This book sounds great. Maybe I’ll just go buy it and not wait to see if I win it.

• 50. Gertrude Duncan  |  May 12th, 2009 at 12:47 pm

  I would love to win this book. I have a serger but don’t know how to use it. I’m sure this book would have me serging like a pro.

• 58. Jill C  |  May 12th, 2009 at 2:39 pm

  I used to sew quite a bit when my daughter was younger, but as the years went by the serger and sewing machines have gathered dust in the closet. It’s been so long since I’ve use the serger… this book would be a wonderful resource to rediscover the art of sewing with a serger.

• 59. amber  |  May 12th, 2009 at 2:42 pm

  i would like to be able to use a serger but need the book first! Thanks

• 60. Vickie Ledsome  |  May 12th, 2009 at 2:48 pm

  I would love to win this book. I have had a serger for a long time and only use it to go around material to keep from raveling. I have 6 extra feet I have never used. Obviously I need some education.

• 64. Mary Boling  |  May 12th, 2009 at 4:50 pm

  Thank you for giving away such a great book, Ready Set Serge. I purchased an old serger from a garage sale. It was full of lint dirt etc. and I cleaned it, inside & out. I then sent to the company for the manual so I could thread it. I have been using it but would like a book that would give me more uses for the serger. I sew clothes for my daughter & I would be grateful to win the book. I am 80 years old & love to sew for my daughter & others. Thank you for Fave Crafts and the fun things to make. Mary

• 65. Deb  |  May 12th, 2009 at 4:55 pm

• 71. Cheryl Godwin  |  May 12th, 2009 at 8:05 pm

  Oh How I would LOVE to have this book; I am trying to talk my husband into getting me a serger machine for Christmas (even if it is used) and this would be one more reason for him to buy me one, I think I may have started to wear him down.

• 72. Dee Wozniak  |  May 12th, 2009 at 8:06 pm

  I am looking to buy a serger, this would probably spur me on. Love to do all sorts of crafts. Really enjoy the newsletters. Thankyou

  Hi,
  I have been sewing for 40 years..clothing, home dec, you name it, I’ve probably sewn it! I have 3 sewing machines and a serger ( which I have only used a few times.) I would love to win this book and really be able to use my serger to put the “pro” in my projects.

• 76. Janice Frankie  |  May 12th, 2009 at 11:41 pm

  Like Christi, I’ve only used my serger to finish edges. Would enjoy sharing and using the new information gleaned from this book!

• 77. Kathy  |  May 13th, 2009 at 12:07 am

  I love my surger and would love to have a new book with great ideas to try. Thanks

• 78. Sharon  |  May 13th, 2009 at 1:05 am

  What a great book! I have a very basic 3 thread serger & need a push to research another more advanced one. Ready Set Serge would certainly do the trick. Hope I win!!!!

• 79. Carolyn Puckett  |  May 13th, 2009 at 4:18 am

  I would love to find out all the things a serger can do. But I heard that you need a different serger for different things. Is that true?

• 80. Pat Cefalu  |  May 13th, 2009 at 8:39 am

  I have a serger machine that I have never used. I will have the entire summer off and would love to learn how to use it. This book would be great for me to win. Thanks, Pat

• 81. Glenda Harper  |  May 13th, 2009 at 9:17 am

  Used to sew a lot then father became ill with a stroke so moved back home to help out. later father passed away and met my now husband of 25 years. I expressed to him my love for sewing and that I want to start sewing again. I still have my 1973′ singer “Touch and Sew” machine which was my graduation gift and my husband bought me a serger machine back in 1997′ which has never been used. O.K. maybe I took it out of the box to look at it but have never used it. Would love to win this book so I can get back into my sewing routine again which is really my first love after my husband of course….. wish me luck!!!!!!!!

• 82. Kim  |  May 13th, 2009 at 9:45 am

  I am just starting to learn more about machine sewing techniques and will be investing in a serger in the next year. This book would be of great assistance with this.

• 83. sandy thorp  |  May 13th, 2009 at 10:03 am

  I have a serger but I use it to finish seams. I have seen patterns that are totally done on the serger but I am not sure, without proper knowledge, that I would really want to try this.

• 91. Dana L  |  May 14th, 2009 at 7:01 pm

  This book would be handy for me. I have a never used serger and think I could learn how to use it with this book.
