I bought a serger like over a year ago and figured it to be way too complicated. I like sewing but have a hard time finishing off my projects. I came across a new book which is for sewing and serging which has been so helpfull. Thought I'd share with y'all. Found it on Amazon here:

http://www.amazon.com/Sew-Start-Sewing-Serging-Today/dp/0312378920/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216238854&sr=1-1

This book also came with 5 sewing / serging patterns. So cool for a $16 book. My fav is teh TShirt and wrap dress.
