• 5/5 from Shannon Morris, attended Apr 2025: I was preparing for a beginner quilting class and needed to brush up on some very novice/rusty sewing skills. My instructor, Sophie was patient, good-natured and provided a host of practical/applicable tips and basic technical information to make me feel at ease and comfortable with the sewing machine. I may not be a star now but I feel more confident to begin. I appreciated the 1:1 aspect of the class so I could learn at my own pace as well as the ability to get feedback on the specific project I am undertaking. It was also great that the location is convenient. I would take another class and highly recommend Sophie.

• 5/5 from Rosemary Tyrrell, attended Nov 2021: Tracy was a really good teacher, answered all my questions and gave me lots of practical advice. Hobbycraft Aintree where I had the lesson was perfect.Spacious and airy.
• 3/5 from Vickie Washbourn, attended Oct 2021: I had my one to one with Tom who was lovely. Only thing was that I spent most of the time waiting for him to find basic things that were needed e.g. cotton and a button (that we didn't even use!). If it wasn't for the fact I was waiting around so much the one to one session would have probably only lasted 15 minutes max. Apart from refreshing my memory of setting up a machine and how to use the button hole feature it wasn't really worth the £10 for the session. I will probably just use YouTube in future if I want to know anything else.

• 4/5 from Kathleen Gardner, attended Aug 2021: Teacher was very pleasant and helpful. Depending on what your sewing needs are maybe a longer session would be useful.
