I'm glad you made friends with it. Whe...Hooray! I'm glad you made friends with it. When I bought my overlocker from Aldi it came pre threaded (hooray) but it had been knocked around enough that it wouldn't actually make chains in the thread (boo) so I had to learn how to thread it right from the beginning. Turns out youtube is great for that kind of thing and now I can do it without needing to pause a youtube clip at every step. They're so helpful when sewing knits, can't wait to see your Mandy Boat!Scared Stitchlessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846347473282025148.post-25132425466788224312014-04-19T19:36:42.379+10:002014-04-19T19:36:42.379+10:00i so want to use my boyfriends sisters overlocker ...i so want to use my boyfriends sisters overlocker while she's living away in the UK.
