Overlockers do so much more than just join seams and neaten edges. With this practical book by your side, you will learn to make full use of your machine so that your sewing projects become easier and quicker to make. With helpful tips and troubleshooting advice throughout, it shows you how to make full use of your machine and how to enjoy the overlocking
process. Topics covered include the different stitches an overlocker can produce, how to achieve them and when to use them. Useful techniques for making garments through simple steps are demonstrated along with photographs to illustrate the processes. Practical advice on equipment and accessories is given, along with troubleshooting tips for when things do not go to plan. There are quick reference charts and creative ideas for decorative finishes.
Lorna Knight has been encouraging people to sew for over twenty years through her workshops, books and magazine articles. She continues to teach in her Staffordshire studio where she enjoys passing on hints and tips from both the couture and high-street fashion worlds, enabling her students to create their own garments and projects.
