Who is this suitable for: Over 16's- This course is perfect if you have sewn before or if you have attended the some beginners workshops & would like to extend your sewing skills further.

What you'll Learn & Make: Learn how to thread up the overlocker, how to make basic adjustments to the overlocker including; changing stitches, balancing threads, changing the differential feed for different fabrics, adjusting knife position & a quick way to change the threads. Practice on a range of different fabrics. An ideal workshop if you are thinking about buying an overlocker.

**Please make sure your overlocker is in FULL WORKING ORDER if you have opted to bring your own, if you have purchased/received your machine second hand we recommend you take it for a service prior to the workshop (we can highly recommend KN Machine Repairs). If your machine is not in good working order we cannot guarantee you will be able to complete the activities planned in the session- for the fairness of the other attendees tutor time will be split equally between everyone on the session.

Basic Overlocker

Excellent class & tutor highly recommended

Turns out my overlocker wasn’t out to get me!

This class was fantastic, amazing value for money, clear and concise explanations of the machine, I came away with perfect (almost) stitch patterns, and in a great mood. Highly recommended.

Overlockers Are Not Scary Afterall !

When I joined this workshop I thought I was a little out of my depth. However, with Lucy’s patient teaching and the camaraderie of the other ladies we all muddled through with great success! I will definitely be putting an overlocker on my Christmas List 🤩 Thank you 🤩
