I found the class to be excellent, with an informative and knowledgeable teacher, and a small, interactive group. Regardless of your sewing expertise, you leave the class with a substantial amount of practical knowledge and samples to practice at home on your overlocker machine, whether old or new. It would be highly beneficial to have an additional class focused on mastering the usage of the overlocker machine (Part 2).

A really helpful time with an expert who gave me a wonderful hack in how to thread my overlocker. An excellent session with an inspired tutor.

I was really glad I attended this intro to overlockers. I would recommend it to anyone before they purchase their own, to understand how they work, and what to look out for threading the overlocker seems a lot less daunting.

Great workshop. I learned how to use my overlocker and used it on several fabric types and thicknesses. I feel confident using the machine now .

Brilliant course and I learnt loads about how to thread and use an overlocker. I feel now that if and when I buy one I am more knowledgeable about what I need. Thank you

Was really unsure about how to work an overlocker and what it could do. It was totally demystified in this class. Excellent.

Rita's class was a joy. Lovely, knowledgeable lady. I now have the confidence to start a project with my own interlocker. Thank you.

This session was a good introduction to using an overlocker. I would recommend it to give confidence in understanding the basics. Lots of good information and tips. The teacher was lovely and very patient and helpful.

I bought an overlocker more than two years ago, it sat glaring at me and I was too overwhelmed by the number of spools to open the box and play. I'm now confidently threading the machine and starting to experiment with simple projects. We'll worth the money

I wish there were more stars. What a great class. Rita explained everything clearly and patiently. I was using my own machine. Rita had taken time before the class to research information about the model. She had prepared fabrics on which we could practise. She took us through using the machine step by step. The last hour of the class involved making a little vest top, from pinning and cutting out the pattern to completion. If you want to learn about overlockers, this is the class for you. You won't get a better teacher and you won't regret signing up.
