My overlocker hasn't seen daylight since the day I bought it over 4 years ago. It looked so complicated that I never got round to trying it, and it seemed such a waste. So I booked myself on a one-day course to learn the basics and gain confidence. How I wish I had done this at the outset! I was amazed how easy it was once I got the general idea, and I can't believe all the different techniques I learned. We have been encouraged to make a sampler book, and I can see a scrapbook page or two, or even a mini album in the making. It certainly was a fun day and I am full of ideas. As always, I just need time but hopefully I can organise myself and look forward to practicing with my own machine. I just hope it is as easy without Pam the course tutor to show me! At least I know I can book on further courses and take my own machine into the shop for a personal demonstration.
