Lorna reviewed: Learn to use An Overlocker (aka Serger)

"Absolutely brilliant. It was very informative. The thought of using my overlocker filled me with fear. After the sessions and practice of using different settings and seams, I feel much more confident."

Emma Jackson (Silversoles - Felted Textiles) responded:

"Glad you had a good day and are now feeling confident to use your overlocker more in your sewing. Keep practicing and your confidence will grow!"
