Sewing with an overlocker (second edition)

Master sewing with an overlocker for clothes that are as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside, discover all the advice from a seamstress addicted to finishes, and improve your skills thanks to the tutorials at 3 different levels. In the tutorials, the author only presents the steps where she uses her overlocker. 

It focuses on assemblies and finishes with the overlocker, and thus offers 15 techniques to learn, such as: assembling a t-shirt (easy), pockets, a collar; insert an elastic band and a button placket; overcast the edges of a cut fabric; hem finishes, with or without slit and flatlock, rolled or lettuce stitch finishes.   Before getting started, Emilie Grontec gives her advice for purchasing a machine, explains its basic functions whether entry-level or high-end, and maintenance. 

She then details all the techniques for sewing with the overlocker (starting and stopping a seam, etc.) and the different stitches that can be done (and how to undo them in the event of an error).   In order to easily identify the sewing steps where the overlocker is essential, the seamstress has indicated them in tables according to the type of clothing (skirt, blouse, dress, panties, t-shirt or sweatshirt). 

Thus, while sewing, the reader can easily know when she should use her sewing machine or overlocker. 

Finally follow the 15 step-by-step photos, divided between knitted fabrics and those in warp and weft, punctuated with advice and tips from this seamstress addicted to finishes.   This practical guide does not allow you to make clothes from A to Z (no pattern provided) but to learn several sewing techniques using the overlocker.
