What questions do you have about your serger? I am presently working on the next book and so far titled, Simply Serging. Titles can change as we move through the editing and writing process, but the idea remains.

What questions do you have about using the serger? We are publishing YOUR questions in this book. I have many sent so far but still waiting on yours.

Email your serger question to me at charlene@thesewbox.com. Be sure to give your name and full address. The publisher will want to contact you for a release form giving permission to use your name and question. I am VERY excited about having YOU in my next book.
