Serger and Overlocker Troubleshooting Guide review
A $17.99 ebook on fixing serger and overlocker problems for Brother, Singer, Juki, Janome and other machines, billed as a 16-year expert's guide whose expert is never named.
Worth a look
The topic list is genuinely useful for anyone fighting with an overlocker, and $17.99 is a modest price for a troubleshooting reference. The problem is trust: the guide leans on an unnamed 16-year expert and a companion book that cannot be identified, and parts of the copy read like recycled sales-book language rather than a sewing manual. Book2Book, the seller, publishes no company details and sells unrelated titles from sales to foraging. With a 60-day refund it is a reasonable gamble for frustrated serger owners, but not a clear recommendation.

Serger and Overlocker Troubleshooting Guide at a glance
The Serger and Overlocker Troubleshooting Guide is an English ebook sold by the Digistore24 account Book2Book. According to the order form, it covers threading, needles, threads, presser feet and upkeep, diagnostic charts for 2, 3 and 4-thread overlockers, tension settings for light knits, denim and activewear, fixes for skipped stitches, broken needles and fabric bunching, re-threading checklists, differential feed and rolled hems, plus advice on choosing a machine. It names Brother, Singer, Juki, Janome, Baby Lock, Bernina, Pfaff and Husqvarna Viking. The form calls it the 16-year expert's guide and a companion to the author's book on basic electrical troubleshooting, but never names that author. It also uses marketing phrases that do not fit sewing, such as high-converting reference guides and commanding respect on every seam. No page count, samples or table of contents are shown. The price is $17.99 once with a 60-day refund, and there is no sales page or legal notice.
