Overlocker Weekend: Build Your Skills & Make 2 Garments

• Threading your overlocker
• Adjusting tension and stitch length
• Changing needles
• Using machine accessories
• Adjusting the blade position
• Basic maintenance and troubleshooting
• Overlocking woven and stretch fabric samples

You’ll need to bring two patterns of your choice and fabric for both garments. You can view our recommended pattern selection here.

If bringing your own overlocker, please ensure it's in good working order and bring the manual, foot pedal, and accessories like tweezers, screwdrivers, and allen keys. Please email us your make and model in advance.

All tools, overlockers, and studio equipment will be provided, and our team is always happy to help advise on suitable fabrics and patterns in-store.

Our classes are non refundable. Due our small class sizes it is very difficult to transfer your booking to a different date. If you cannot attend a class and are able to notify us at least two weeks before the class starts, it may be possible to change the date* but this is not guaranteed so please give us as much notice as possible to increase your chances. *Limited to one change only.

If you're running late, please contact us as soon as possible by email. Unfortunately, if you arrive more than 30 minutes after the class starts, we may not be able to admit you as this can disrupt the learning experience for other students.

In the event that we need to cancel a class, we will provide as much notice as possible and offer either a full refund or an alternative booking date.

At Ray Stitch, we'd love to welcome stitchers of all ages, but to ensure the best learning experience for everyone, we're unable to accommodate anyone under 12 in our workshops.

Young people aged 12-16 are very welcome in our classes but must be accompanied by a responsible adult (18+) throughout the entire session. The accompanying adult must book and pay for their own space in the class and participate alongside the young person. Students aged 17 and over can attend classes independently.

If you're planning to book for a young person, we recommend emailing us first so we can help guide you to the most suitable class for their age and experience level.
