Lesson 0 - Learn to use your overlocker

Lesson 0 is all about teaching you how to use your overlocker, enabling you to take one of our courses afterwards or learn a life skill to continue your sewing journey independently. It is aimed at people who already own an overlocker, but mine is available to hire for the session if required. 

This lesson takes place at my house (RH5) and will last approximately 2-2.5 hours, although this may vary slightly depending on your existing knowledge.

During this session, you will:

Get familiar with the parts of an overlocker

Learn how to thread the machine

Practice sewing straight lines and curves

Understand basic machine settings and stitch length

Learn simple troubleshooting tips

Build confidence using the foot pedal and controlling speed

Sew a basic project

This session is available either on a one-to-one basis or you can book for two people. Please note that I only have 1 machine, so if you would like to book for two people and only one needs a machine then please book for 1 + machine hire and add to basket, then book for 1 + no hire. 

This session can be booked for a Monday, Friday or Saturday starting at 9.30am or a weekday evening starting at 7.30pm, depending on availability.
