Hi I am enjoying the course and it’s given me a clear understanding of how my overlocker works and how I can use it. Please can you answer a question about needles? It sounds like you have to use specific needles for an overlocker. What about when you sew with jersey? Do you use the same ballpoint needles you would use with a sewing machine? Or are there special jersey needles for the overlocker? Thanks Ruth
Hi Ruth, Usually, an overlocker will just use standard needles and won’t need a jersey or knit needle, as your sewing machine will. The best thing to do is to check your machine or your manual and the manufacturer will recommend the best needles for the machine. There are no special overlocker needles that we know of. Nikki

Hello, maybe I’m being very dim, but where can I find the downloads to print out please? I’m doing this on an ancient tablet.
Thank you
