• 5/5 from Batbara Gordon, attended Dec 2024: I made an appointment to visit the store to try out a new sewing machine which could do buttonholes and zip inserts which my current machine cannot do. The instructor, Hazel, explained everything to me and I was delighted with the attention to detail from her. The venue was fine and I bought a new version of the machine I was shown how to do the above on and very happy with it - I took it home and tried it immediately - very happy! Many thanks to Hazel.

• 5/5 from Barbara Walker, attended Apr 2024: My 14 yr old grand daughter and I attended a tutorial on how to set up and use a sewing machine. The teacher was lovely and put us at our ease by explaining all the steps clearly without rushing us or the session. The venue was the Falkirk store, in a quiet corner of the second floor where it was well lit and comfortable. The class was excellent value for money and we left feeling very positive that we now had the confidence to use a sewing machine at home. My grand daughter is over the moon at what she’s learned and excited to have taken her first steps into the immensely satisfying world of sewing. She has made a cushion cover already and has promised to make Darcey (dog) a bandana :) In summary the session was a great success. Thank you Hobbycraft for making it possible, we’ll be back for other crafty sessions!
• 5/5 from Jill Bennet, attended Mar 2024: I feel this was great value, so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend others to try this type of one on one.
• 5/5 from Kirsty Smith, attended Feb 2024: I wanted to learn how to get started with a sewing machine and advice on which type of machine would be best for a beginner. I was taken through how to set up the machine and how to do different stitches. I was given the chance to try all of this on my own which has made me more confident getting started at home. I took a friend with the add on option and both of us were given the same opportunities. I was given advice on good projects for beginners, types of fabric for different purposes and ended up purchasing a machine in store that same day. The teacher at the Falkirk store was lovely and put us at ease from the very start. Would highly recommend and will definitely be attending other workshops in the future!
• 5/5 from Jane Norval, attended Feb 2024: I hadn't seen for years & bought a new sewing machine so just wanted a refresher type lesson to give me the confidence to start sewing again. This was just what I needed and my instructor was lovely. I am so glad I did it & worth every penny.
• 5/5 from Morag Buchanan, attended Feb 2024: Hadn’t used a sewing machine for many years. Fantastic teacher, looking forward to enjoying my new hobby.
• 5/5 from Celia, attended Jan 2024: After many years away from using a sewing machine, my skills and knowledge were a bit rusty and required updating but Hazel put me at ease straight away. She found a good match for my home sewing machine and explained its many functions clearly as well as guiding me through some ‘forgotten’ sewing techniques. I found the 1 to 1 class with Hazel not only enjoyable, but very useful in helping me with my future sewing projects. Many thanks.
• 4/5 from Sheona Wardle, attended Dec 2023: Workshop was good - teacher had read up about machine as a new model. Answered all my questions and walked me through lots of procedures which were in the manual but helped me to see them working. Good experience and very helpful teacher thanks

• 5/5 from Diane McAllister, attended Aug 2023: The session was 1 to 1 which meant that it was easy to following along and understand how the machine works. It was done at a pace that was easy enough to understand and support to ask questions and see if I had any questions. The staff in the store have all been approachable and helpful. Would definitely recommend this for anyone that is just starting out, needing help to restart sewing.
• 5/5 from Claire O'Donnell, attended Jul 2023: I was really nervous about doing this. Sewing machines have always given me the fear but Hazel was superb, patient and put me right at ease. She helped me to pick the right machine for me and by the end I was so enthused I was ready to start as soon as I came home! Next stop - the great British sewing bee
• 5/5 from Cameron Evans, attended Jul 2023: The workshop was a great way to get started with my new sewing machine. I was shown how to thread the bobbins and set the machine up. Its so much easier when someone shows you, rather than trying to follow the instructions yourself. Rachael was a great instructor. Very pleased with the workshop and looking forward to getting started with my new machine
• 5/5 from Evie Wilson, attended May 2023: Rachel was amazing with my daughter this afternoon. Showed her the way around the sewing machine and then helped her make a simple bag, all in the space of an hour. Would highly recommend, Rachel was so patient and encouraging. Thank you.
• 5/5 from Linda Reid, attended Apr 2023: Great session from Rona. She made it so simple. She demonstrated and then let me try myself. I feel confident in setting up my own machine. In fact I did it once home and it worked! Thanks!

• 5/5 from Maureen Dorans, attended Oct 2022: As a 75 year old who has never used a sewing machine I found the beginners class excellent. Rachel was extremely patient and knowledgeable. I would recommend this class as it gives you lots of tips. I did not realise a sewing machine took a lot of threading I would never have managed this myself. Thanks again Rachel really appreciated your time.
• 5/5 from Lynsey Simpson, attended Sep 2022: Recently bought my daughter a sewing machine and patterns from hobbycraft. The aftercare service is outstanding especially from rachel who has a great knowledge and is very helpful. We attended hobbycraft with rachel to go over a pattern and she showed us how to read the pattern and pin the parts together. As ive said great service and will definitely be back for more classes
• 3/5 from Christine Constable, attended Sep 2022: Trainer went sick saw a lovely girl who told me I can't do what I wanted to on my machine I was there for 10 mins. She showed me how to zigzag the edges which I knew already, a bit of a waste of money really.
• 5/5 from Tracy Kirk, attended Aug 2022: Excellent workshop with Rachel. She really made me feel at ease, I learned lots and I’m looking to book another workshop soon. I’d highly recommend the workshops - small group sewing workshops would be a great addition to the workshop programme. Thank you for a great workshop!
• 5/5 from Alison Hall, attended Jul 2022: Had a fantastic lesson with Rachel who was so lovely and friendly. She had prepared some things for me that i had asked about prior to the lesson and was really helpful and patient answering all my questions. Thanks to her advice i have managed to get my old machine up and running and will be back in soon to get some materials to try out a beginner project. Thank you so much! :-)
