  • Very useful guide.

    It's not better than I expected......that's a silly description of 4 stars. It's what I expected and hoped for. The only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is that some of the print is very pale and small fonts are used on coloured backgrounds which are not the easiest to read. It a good and very helpful guide to have if you want to get to grips with your overlocker. There's clear explanations, useful photographs and suggestions for trying out each technique. There's also some quick and easy and quick little project ideas.

  • Just what I needed

    I borrowed a copy of this book from a friend and after reading it just had to have my own. Invaluable for those of us who are just getting used to our overlocker machines. What did I do without it. I would recommend the book to anyone using an overlocker. Very informative and easy to understand.

  • Don't be without this book.

    Very informative little book with clear instructions and photos of what can be achieved. Now just have to start practicing using my complicated looking machine! Highly recommended.

  • I'm so pleased I got this book.

    Excellent book to have if you have an overlocker. Plenty of colour photo's to help when things go wrong, I wouldn't be without it, it has given me confidence to tackle problems, in my case it is always operator error (me). I love this book.

  • Good, clear instructions

    Very easy to understand the techniques and instructions. Good diagrams and suggestions. The sewing projects were good for beginners but not what would appeal to an experienced sewist who might be new to overlocking like me. However, that probably is not what is needed.

  • Overlocker Technique Manuel

    The book is very good. I have a different overlocker to the one the book is aimed at. So some instructions are different. But it gives advice which can be used on my machine.

  • Brilliant Book

    I love this book I have read every page and found it very informative. I have learnt tips and tricks I know I will use again and again. This is a book I will refer to over and over again well worth the money.

  • If you’re frightened of your new overlocker, this book is for you!

    It fully explains what everything does and how to move it about. It explains different techniques and things to do with your new toy that you’d probably never thought about or would think of. Highly recommended.
