Just to say “thank you” for the overlocker tuition. I enjoyed the course, which was very informative, both on the materials, the making, and my Overlocker, which I am beginning to like a lot better!!!I have completed my yellow flowered top, bought some black leggings, (a bit trendy for me, can’t wait until the granddaughters see them!!) and I am delighted with the result.
