The Details
EVERYTHING IS PROVIDED IN CLASS TO COMPLETE THIS COURSE
we must assume that our students are complete novices and know only that they want to embark on this wonderful journey of creativity
This way we can all start from common ground:-
by learning the correct and proven procedures and possibly unlearning methods that may have led down a path of frustration
THIS AND THE 8-SESSION COURSE ARE COMPLETED ON THE SEWING MACHINES IN CLASS
We strongly encourage you not to purchase a machine before you know what they can do and what you need

Session 3
Most ladies who are already unsure of the up and down moving needle of the regular sewing machine, are petrified at the thought of two needles and four threads as in – THE DREADED OVERLOCKER !!!
The “monster” becomes a loved and trusted companion
We move right into exposing this “monster” as a tame and very helpful assistant in the sewing room . . . A true friend by your side.
The inner workings are explained and seen in action
There are different makes of overlocker in the classroom and students can feel first hand why compromise is not an option here
A quick demonstration of the rethreading of the overlocker machine follows
And suddenly, Novices are Novices no more
As the activities of a busy day wind down we take a breath and discuss The Next Step
Session 4
We answer your questions and chat about the Module 1 . Comprehensive Sewing Techniques and what the benefits are to you

It gives you the opportunity to find out if sewing is for you.

This way you have complete freedom to make an informed choice
