A full one day class 5-6 hours
This class is perfect for a raw beginner or someone who has some overlocker knowledge. My aim is to give students a greater understanding of their overlocker that allows them to continue using it at home confidently. The kit provided covers a comprehensive 23-page workbook and all fabrics required for the day.
The course covers; four thread overlocking, understanding tensions, three thread overlocking, rolled hem, understanding differential feed, techniques for better results when stitching a circle, inside corners, outside corners, working with difficult fabrics and so many applications for rolled hem!
Class cost includes $30 for class kit!
Students are required to bring
· Their own overlocker -in good working order (having your machine serviced before class is advisable to avoid disappointment, if it’s not working properly you will not get the most out of the class)
· Foot control
· Accessories i.e. screw drivers, tweezers etc
· Rolled hem plate (if required to achieve a rolled hem on your machine- mostly older models, newer machines have a built in adjustment a slide adjustment on the needle plate which is built in)
· Spare needles – the correct system for your machine.
· Instruction manual
· 4 spools x good quality overlocking thread (4 different colours works well to help understand the stitch formation – if your overlocker has coloured threading paths try to match those colours i.e. orange, blue, red, green)
· Scissors
· Pen
