• 5/5 from Ashley Powell, attended Feb 2025: I was hoping to gain a little insight into setting up a sewing machine. It was a great session and I bought a sewing machine as a result. Noreen was very knowledgeable and explained the machine well. I’ve already hemmed a pair of trousers! Only issue would be that other customers interrupted the session to make their own enquiries. Out of the machinists control and she was very polite. I wonder if there is a way of highlighting that a private session is in progress and place a do not interrupt sign.
