Learn to overlock with Kate Virtual Class

By: Patricia on 5 December 2024
It has been awhile since I had the chance to do any overlocking and needed to do a refresher course and this was ideal. It has given me tips and shown me how to get creative and given me the confidence to get back into using it to do other things. Looking forward now to doing some of Kate's patterns.
