If you’ve already tamed your sewing machine and crave a new adventure, don’t limit your sewing skills and master the overlocker, with tutor Alison Leese, expert seamstress and owner of Ministry of Craft.
Reveal the secrets to professional finishes and say goodbye to frayed edges and hello to polished perfection. Learn how to overlock corners, curves, hems and seams that’ll make your projects sturdy, durable, and envy-inducing.
Demystify the secrets of threading and explore the different functions while experimenting on a range different fabric types. Master techniques, including gathering and a rolled hem—a perfect choice for sheer fabrics.
By the end of the session, you’ll troubleshoot like a seasoned detective and leave with more than just knowledge—leave with confidence, a whole host of useful hints and tips and reference samples, guiding you through future overlocked adventures.
