In this class replay, we’ll deep dive into 3-thread narrow overlock stitches. These stitches are delicate yet durable. We'll explore creative ways to finish edges on garments as well as other projects. We’ll cover proper machine setup, thread choices, and techniques that make the difference between frustration and success.
