  • Beyond Basics Overlocker will take you to the next level of your overlocker journey. You can thread it and use it for basic seams (maybe from Conquer the Overlocker?) but now we’re going to make sure you have a solid user foundation, before we add in multiple other seam types to your overlocker repertoire!

  • This is the class to take when you really want to level up your home sewing, beyond basic overlocker seams.

  • This class is ideal for intermediate sewers who are ready to take the next step in their sewing and overlocking journey. If you’re not sure if that’s you, contact me and we can discuss whether it’s right for you or not! For this class a basic knowledge of using an overlocker is important.

How Payment Plans Work

I use a third party website, GoCardless, to manage payment plans for my sewing classes.


Simply fill in your details as requested, state how many payments you’d like your payment plan to be (there is a maximum of 2 for this sewing class) when prompted and pay your deposit. Your payment plan will be manually set up using the email address you provide and split into even payments.
 
Registering for a payment plan will automatically enrol you on the sewing class, and so the same cancellation policy applies.

What You’ll Learn in Beyond Basics Overlocker

In the morning, we will brush up on the overlocker settings to make sure you have not been missing out on handy features such as the blade width adjustment, or if you have any niggling tension questions you’d like to resolve we can sort those too!​

​Once we’re all off to a good start, we will venture beyond the basics by learning how to create different types of seams such as: 

  • lettuce edge 

  • roll hem

  • blind hem 

  • two thread 

  • three thread 

  • flatlock 

 After we’ve all practiced and got to grips with the sampling of those seams, we will have a chance to discuss overlocker projects you might have on the go (please bring them!) or get clear on specific sewing techniques such as sewing neckbands.

Spaces are limited to 7 participants per class to provide the ultimate learning experience

What previous sewing students have to say…

I was delighted to find Thimble offered such great classes so close to my home. I’d been trying to master my overlocker for some time but been too nervous to alter the settings in case I never got it back to normal again. Even just the first 2 hours justified the money! I learnt so much. It became so obvious when someone explains it to you with patience and care.

Camille’s teaching skills are brilliant, and her warmth and humour bring generosity and possibility to a particularly tricky subject – The Overlocker!!

– Kirsty

I loved learning alongside a local group of women as we overcame our fears, and began to feel the possibility of trying techniques, and adapting when we make mistakes.
