- Video chat private lessons are $35 per 30 minute increment.
Payment is required to book in your private lesson and until payment is received lessons are not confirmed.

07 January 2021 • Private Overlocker Lesson
Today I had a private lesson for two hours with Danielle. I wanted to learn how to use my new overlocker and was so happy🙂For some things I prefer one on one over classroom so having this option at Thread Den is a big plus. Highly recommended.
07 April 2017 • Private Overlocker Lesson
I had a 2 hour one-on-one session with Laura to learn more about my overlocker. It was SO valuable. I went home very excited about sewing using my overlocker and getting it to work for me because I now know exactly what the settings are for and have more confidence to change them to get the best finish. Laura was able to answer my specific questions as well as show me how to get the most out of my manual for future trouble shooting. Having the one-on-one session was also great as I was able to learn what I wanted to know and go at my own pace. Thank you Laura for sharing your knowledge and skills in such a wonderful way!
