For beginners, the machine was explained, there was simply no time to try out the presser feet, the scope of the course should be described better! (What does getting to know the Overlook include)

The course gave me initial insights into how to use an overlock sewing machine, which was exactly the aim of my participation. The course instructor was able to help me with all my questions from personal experience. I can absolutely recommend this course, regardless of whether you are a newbie or need specific help with a project.
