• 4/5 from Susan Fensom, attended Mar 2022: There was some confusion when I turned up so I had to go and chase up the person who was supposed to be demonstrating the machine. 2 machines were compared and I was shown how to thread the machine and choose the different stitches. I did not have a chance to actually use the machine, which would have been helpful. However, the demonstrator was very clear with his instructions
