“Make friends with your overlocker” is the class for you – run over 3 sessions or a full day workshop.

Make friends with your overlocker

Learn to thread your overlocker, understand stitch length & width, tensions, differential feed, when to use 3 or 4 threads and more. Finish off this class by making a t shirt (which may also be the beginning of your stretch sewing experience!).
