• 5/5 from Sheila Wilson, attended Mar 2026: Purchased this class for myself as recently purchased a Hobbycraft sewing machine. When booking the class, you can add your machine details and what you would like to achieve. As it was so different to my last machine, wanted to know more on tensions, threading and button holes. As my class was just me, we covered all my requests and more. The instructor Sue was excellent, felt very personal, patient and passionate about doing the class. Would recommend this and now looking at other classess.

• 2/5 from Serap Ozmen, attended May 2024: I was expecting to be able to use different machines to decide which one to buy but I couldn't. I couldn't even use the one I wanted to buy as the parts were missing. I used a similar model, which was not bad. Also, I was expecting to be able to experience the machine more instead of watching the lady. But it was useful overall.

I have never used a sewing machine before and my partner had purchased one for me from your store, so I needed to, not only be shown how to operate this particular machine, but to be shown how to use a sewing machine from scratch.
