"Making Friends With Decorative Serging On The Pfaff 4872" Book On CD

Attention Owners of 4862, 4852, 4870 and all other brands and models

I created a Conversion Booklet for the following models:

4862 (There is also a Quick Reference Chart for stitches programmed into the 4862.)

4852

4870

There is also a Generic Conversion Booklet so any model serger can use the book.

The Conversion Booklets are available in PDF file format that is viewable and printable with Adobe Acrobat Reader TM 4.0, a free program. Get a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader TM 4.0 and you will be ready to view the catalog. It is best viewed in Adobe Acrobat Reader TM 4.0

You can download a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader TM at the Adobe Web Site.

4862 and 4870 models: You may not be able to create all of the stitches and techniques in the book, and you may not be able to take advantage of all the guides, but you will gain a great deal of information that you can use. You can use the same Serger Project Card for the 4872 with some exceptions. Please see Page 1 of the Conversion Booklet for more information.

4852 models: You will be able to create all of the stitches and techniques in the book, and you will be able to take advantage of all the guides. You can also use the same Serger Project Card for the 4872. Please see Page 1 of the Conversion Booklet for more information.

This book covers decorative serging on the 4872 and it will teach you how to use the serger feet, accessories, and guides that are available. Look for a Table of Contents and exerpts from the instruction pages to be placed on the site. Check here often for the updates.

This book is written in an easy to understand format with a chart on every technique page. This is the same book that I use in my seminars for the Pfaff 4872 sergers. It has evolved over the last year as I gained insight into the needs of the owners of this serger.

Quote from the book: This book is dedicated to the thousands of students who have inspired me with their creativity. I enjoy giving students a license to be creative. Many decorative serger techniques start as an accident. We then make something wonderful from these creative accidents. We must have the freedom to take chances and try new techniques. I love to play with a new idea and new threads or simply use threads in a new way. This book is written in a progressive way to walk you through many new techniques. I will offer suggestions of threads and helpful hints. This book would not be possible without the creativity and the patience that the Lord has given me to teach something I dearly love. I hope you learn much from this book and soon become Best Friends With Decorative Serging!

This book is formatted specifically for the Pfaff 4872 Serger. After teaching numerous seminars with this serger I decided to format this book with special attention paid to the features of the 4872. I have been playing with the capabilities possible on this model and decided to add a few new stitches to this book. I hope you enjoy learning all about the wonderful stitches this serger is capable of doing.

Contents:

• Over 60 stitches and techniques possible on the Pfaff 4872 Serger, from Applique to Wrapped Stitches.
• Over 20 pages of information on the serger feet, accessories, and guides.
• Information on decorative threads and needles to use.
• Decorative Serging-Helpful Hints
• Maintenance
• Thread Tension-Balancing Stitches
• Info on using Woolly Nylon
• I add personal notes where appropriate to help you understand the technique.
• Specific threads are suggested for the stitches and techniques.
• Many settings for length, width, differential, and needle positions are given.
• Recommendations are given when a specific foot, accessory, or guide is neccessary or helpful.
• A double sided color reference page is included with the book. A Quick Reference Chart for the standard programmed stitches is on one side. The opposite side has a quick reference photo with arrows pointing to the various parts of the serger. I suggest laminating this chart to preserve it. You can have ready access to it when you are working on any page. You could also hang it above your serger for easy access.
• A shortcut to memory functions for stitch tensions, length and differential settings is on the inside back cover.

A Serger Project Card for the 4872/4862/4852 is also available that coordinates with the book and makes organizing your new stitches a simple task. They are 4" x 6", and come 40 in a package.
