Overlock Hem Finish
This lesson will teach you how to use the overlock machine to clean finish the edge of a hem. This popular hem finish is a great choice for light to medium-weight fabrics and is ideal for wools and fabrics that have a tendency to fray. Once you have mastered the sampler, you will be ready to move on to an actual garment. We will also teach you how to slip-stitch your hem by hand.
