these are a few of my favourite pins ~ overlocker/serger tips

 

I have an overlocker in fact I have two.

One I have had for years but haven't used in ages

and the other was a gift that is still in the box.

 

Part of my problem is finding time to set

myself up to use them.

 

The other part is fear and dread of threading

and actually using my overlocker.

 

I'm psyching myself up and checking out some

great posts on using my overlocker.

 

I'm not alone here am I?

I'm not the only one who keeps putting

off learning overlocker secrets?

 

Tell me I'm not alone.

 

Anyway I hope I'm not the only sook and

some of these posts help you too.
