I needed a class on using my overlocker: so many settings I did not know about. I was not happy with the way it gathered the fabric, now I have fixed the problem and know how to fix it on any overlocker. I also know how to disengage the knife and do a rolled hem, something I've always wanted to know. It was fun to do this class with a friend and I hope to do some more.
Learnt a lot about my overlocker in one class.
We went through the differences between the 3, 4, 5 threads overlockers, the domestic vs industrial ones. We looked at the overlocker itself, the accessories, and we got to practise threading it from scratch. We referred to our own manual from time to time as most of us brought in different overlockers.
We also got to sew on the overlockers. I knew little about tensions, and in the class I got to practise changing it and also learnt about a setting that affects the loopers, which I didn’t even know it existed.
Some of us had time to practise the pulling through method for threading.
It’s a great introductory course to learn about the overlockers, highly recommended.
