“Beyond the Pattern, Great Sewing Techniques for Clothing” from Threads is a must read. It is old – 1995, but it’s clarity will help you understand how so many things are done it is timeless. I also understand how machines work and exactly how a stitch should look. Best photos of serger stitches I have seen. I checked it out from the library, and hope to find one for sale somewhere.

That is one I have in my arsenal. I will have to dig it out and reread it. Thanks for the heads up. I do remember it being a great book.
I have that one, too! Thank you for posting about it. I'll get it out again and look it over. It helps to be reminded!
