Overlocker 101

Overlockers can seem terrifying but we promise they are not! Once you have got to grips with an overlocker, you never want to be without one. This is a great class for people who have an overlocker and want to get the best out of it, or those that want to know what else they can do with an overlocker other than finishing the raw edges of the fabric.

What will you learn?

• Threading and rethreading the overlocker
• Understanding the different parts of the overlocker
• Finishing seams
• Sewing with the overlocker
• Gathering
• Rolled Hems
