Beginner’s Overlocking Course
In the Beginner's Overlocking course, where we will teach you the basics of this essential sewing technique! We will explore the art of overlocking, a sewing method that involves using a special machine to finish the edges of fabric, prevent fraying, and create a professional-looking seam.
This course is designed for anyone who is interested in learning the art of overlocking, or how to use their overlocker, whether you are a beginner or an experienced sewer looking to expand your skills. Throughout this course, we will provide step-by-step instructions on the techniques and tools needed to create beautiful and functional overlocked seams.
We will start by discussing the different types of overlock machines and cover the tools and materials needed to start your overlocking project, including thread, needles, and fabric.
We will dive into the specifics of each overlocking technique, including how to thread your machine, adjust the tension, and create different types of stitches. We will also cover how to overlock seams on various types of fabric, including knits, woven fabrics, and sheer fabrics.
By the end of this course, you will have learned how to create a variety of overlocked seams, including flatlock, rolled hem, and 3-thread and 4-thread overlock stitches. You will also have gained a thorough understanding of the techniques and tools needed to create beautiful and functional overlocked seams. Materials are provided but please ensure you have spare needles and overlocking thread for your machine.
Whether you are looking to create a unique garment, add a professional touch to your sewing projects, or simply explore your creative side, this Beginner's Overlocking course is the perfect place to start. Join us today and discover the joy and versatility of this essential sewing technique!
