Are you terrified of your overlocker? Do you just use it for neatening seams? If
so, this is the workshop for you. Discover how to use the overlocker to its best
advantage,navigate around curves and angles and use a rolled hem setting to
create tucks and lettuce leaf edges. Once you have mastered the overlocker you
will have the opportunity to work on a project of your choice - this could be a
stretch knit top, a dress or even lingerie.
You may bring your own overlocker if you wish but it must have been PAT
tested and you must bring your instruction book.
Material Costs: Variable depending upon project chosen
