Please check your overlocker is functioning well in advance as we don't accept cancellations on these courses. You can book your overlocker in for a service in advance if needed. You will also need to bring the full instruction booklet for your overlocker, to ensure you can learn about your own machine. You'll also need a basic sewing kit, which you'll also need to do your best sewing at home! Bring what you use at home, and remember we stock a huge range of sewing tools, both in our shop in Bridport and online. You'll need to bring the following sewing kit:- Sharp sewing scissors
- Hand sewing needles
