Overlockers are amazing machines that can stitch, trim and neaten seams all in one operation as well as hem garments and add decorative finishes. Yet so few owners fully understand them or use them to their full potential. Most people who have overlockers only use them for neat edge finish but they can do so much more.

If you are looking for a workshop that will teach you the ins and outs of your overlocker, you are in the right place.
