Overlocker 1 - Learn to love your Overlocker - AKA Serger

Description

Ever wondered what all those switches and dials on your overlocker/serger do?  Did you know that your machine is capable of so much more than just preventing fraying - it can create stretch seams and faux coverstitches and so much more!  

We have a guest tutor Lindsey who has a wealth of experience and teaches online and in person to share her passion for stitching in stretch fabric and getting clothes to fit your wonderful body.  (Or someone else’s if you if you are generous enough to make for others).

Don’t be scared as Lindsey will help you to understand your machine by learning to thread the machine from scratch.  We will spend time playing with settings, tensions.  You will be encouraged to make mistakes on purpose, you learn by your mistakes.  

Once you are confident with what you can achieve with your overlocker we will end the session by making a small project for you to take away.

To participate you will ideally have your own overlocker to bring to the workshop.  If you are yet to invest in an overlocker and would like to use the Pfaff Admire 1000 demonstration model please let us know when you book. 

If you can bring old T-shirts or other scrap jersey to practice on that will help.  Alternatively bring your purse as we will have bags of scrap jersey to purchase. 

If you have any questions feel free to get in touch.
