Workshop at Artisan Stitch to show how versatile your own overlocker sewing machine can be.
Artisan Stitch is running a Know Your Overlocker Workshop on Friday 20 November, over in Edinburgh East. It's a session built around getting more out of one specific machine: the overlocker. If you've got one sitting in your sewing room and you only ever use it for the one thing you know it does, this is for you. The whole point of the workshop is to show exactly how versatile your own overlocker can be, rather than just treating it as a tool for finishing edges.
Overlockers are those machines that can transform your sewing, but they're often the most underused piece of kit in a home studio. Most of us buy one to tidy up seams, and that's where it stays. This workshop is designed to move past that. It's about seeing what else the machine can actually do, and how to work it into your projects in ways you might not have considered. If you've ever wondered if there's more to it than just the overlocked edge, that's exactly what this session is built around.
It's a practical, hands-on kind of thing, so it's best if you're coming with your own machine in mind. The focus is on your own overlocker, so the session is about getting more out of the one you already own rather than looking at new gear. It's a good fit if you've been sewing for a while and feel like you're only scratching the surface of what your machine can manage.
