Get to Know Your Overlocker – Beginner’s Sewing Workshop at Clothkits
February 15 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Have you felt the presence of something under your bed, in your cupboard, tucked away in a cardboard box gathering dust, afraid to open it . . . is it an overlocker?! So many times sewists make this key purchase only to be intimidated by the number of dials and hooks or it becomes unthreaded so you consign it to the dark. Let us help you bring your overlocker back into the light and show you how to get the most out of your machine.
In this workshop, we will teach you the skills and techniques so that you have the confidence to start using your overlocker as an integral part of your sewing projects.
We will cover:
- The basic anatomy of the overlocker
- How to thread up and change threads
- The basic set up and adjustment, including tension wheels, cutting blade and differential feed
- 3 and 4 thread overlocking; changing the needles
- Sewing simple seams on woven and jersey fabrics
- How to overlock around curves and corners
