About the Class
Are you intimidated by your overlocker? Does the tension setting leave you confused? Are you nervous about rethreading or making adjustments? Perhaps you've heard about this fantastic machine and would love to have a go before investing in your own. Don’t worry! Join me for this hands-on beginners overlocker workshop where we’ll tackle all your overlocker fears in a fun and relaxed setting. By the end of the session, you’ll feel confident and ready to use your overlocker like a pro. What you will learn: ● How to thread and rethread your overlocker with ease ● Troubleshooting tension issues and how to fix them ● Adjusting your cutting width and stitch length for the perfect finish ● Getting to know the different parts of your overlocker ● Switching between 2 and 3 threads, and how to change your needles ● Proper techniques for starting, stopping, and finishing seams ● How to chain pieces together seamlessly ● Sewing curves and various shapes ● Disengaging the blade when needed ● Understanding the differential feed function (if your machine has it) What you need to bring: Bring your own machine or use one of our amazing Janome machines. A basic sewing kit Please note: Since we allow participants to bring their own overlockers, we won’t be covering more advanced stitches specific to individual models. If you'd like to explore more advanced features, you can book a 1-2-1 session to focus on your machine. Important: Your overlocker should be in good working order with the correct power cable, and please remember to bring your manual. If your machine is new, make sure it’s working properly before the workshop, as some machines from certain supermarkets may not be working straight out the box.

Cancellation Policy
By booking a course or workshop with Ready Steady Sew, you are agreeing to the terms outlined in this cancellation policy. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us prior to booking. Please head to the Cancellation Policy header in the menu tab to view our full policy. Cancellation Due to Non-Attendance We understand that sometimes circumstances change, but we ask for your cooperation with our cancellation policy: Cancellations must be made at least 14 working days before the course start date to receive a full refund. 14 days or less notice: 50% of the course fee will be refunded. 7 days or less before the course start date: 100% of the course fee will be charged Non-attendance without prior notice will result in no refund. To cancel your place, please email us at readysteadysew@hotmail.com as soon as possible. All cancellations must be received in writing via email. Refunds will be processed the same day that you request it. However, please note that the processing time is dependent on Wix Payments (our payment provider) and your bank. We have no control over how long it takes for the funds to appear in your account, but it can take up to 20 business days in total, depending on your bank's processing times. No Refunds for Partially Attended Courses There will be no refunds for partially attended courses. If you decide that the course is not for you after attending part of it, you will not be eligible for a refund. We encourage you to make sure the course is right for you before booking. Transfers to Future Classes If you need to transfer to a future class, you must notify us at least 14 working days before the class start date. Unfortunately, we cannot accept transfer requests within 14 days of the class start date. We are unable to transfer bookings after this time frame as it's not long enough for us to refill your spot, and it takes a spot away from a future student. As a small business, we rely on full classes to remain sustainable, and offering transfers to everyone who requests them would result in under-booked classes. We encourage you to ensure you're available for the dates of the course you book. Once a spot is reserved, it is committed to you, and we cannot accommodate changes to future sessions regardless of the reason.
