Overlock Basics & Techniques
Learn how to understand your overlocker with the basics of threading your machine, correct tensions and differential feed. You will discover different stitches and techniques and go away with the confidence to use the overlocker to its full potential.
Overlockers are very similar, so we provide a Juki MO-654DE for each student as this model is suitable for a class environment. If you have an air-threader machine (self-threading), you will need to bring your overlocker to our class. To ease difficultly in carrying your air-threading overlocker, we can meet you at the back of the shop and collect your machine whilst you park.
Supplied: Machines, Threads, Fabrics, Tea and Coffee.
Required: Your Overlocker manual, Lunch, (Air Threading Machine if owned)
Any further queries, please email us at fabricandknitting@franklinsgroup.com
Classes are suitable for everyone over the age of 18.
