Recent reviews of Free-motion Embroidery Class

• 5/5 from C Cross, attended Jun 2026: Absolutely amazing. Too_much_fun. Ended up being a 1-2-1, super relaxed and was absolutely made up with what I produced. Got told all the short cuts and lots of choice of fabrics. As a knackered, over 50 mum of 2, was amazing escapism. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Will be back for more. Very excited to hear about spa and craft days they will be running in the future.
• 5/5 from Kathryn Chellew, attended Oct 2024: I really enjoyed learning how to do free form embroidery and made a Christmas themed picture of a Robin which I'm thrilled with. The classroom was well supplied and I had lots of help learning the process. I hope I can continue to make more textile art with my own sewing machine in future.

• 5/5 from Cindy Lloyd-Evans, attended Jun 2024: Rachel was a friendly and knowledgeable teacher. She explained all the steps of free motion embroidery clearly and I created a piece of art work I was very happy with. I had very little sewing machine experience but this wasnt a problem. I highly recommend this course and I am certain all the workshops Rachel teaches would be equally good!

• 5/5 from Sarah, attended Apr 2024: Really good class. Great teacher. Amazing to try out machine embroidery (embroidery foot that you can buy on line to fit pretty much any sewing machine.) All participants left with a fabric animal collage attached to base ground with machine embroidery. Very similar to drawing with stitch. Wonderful

I was happy to leave the class with a piece of work I was proud to have made. An enjoyable, creative morning well spent and I hope to take another class soon.
• 5/5 from Ruth Allen, attended Feb 2023: I had a brilliant time at the Free Motion Class at Thames Ditton last night.Having done a previous class with someone else pre Covid I thought I knew basically what to do. No - Rachels methods are SOOO much easier. I learnt more in the first hour than at my previous class. Fun and made as easy as possible by Rachel. I went home with a freemotion picture I am proud of! An excellent class even if you dont know your needle from your bobbin.PS. Rachel, I have ordered the Freezer Paper - a complete revelation!

• 5/5 from Jane Goodwin, attended May 2022: Addictive and brilliant- I feel so lucky to have craft my day on my doorstep. Rachel is just so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and her experience shows in her ability to teach so well. This most recent class I attended was free motion embroidery. It was a 3 hour class and I made a bird out of fabric scraps. The class included the materials we needed, how to go about constructing your piece and then putting it together on the machine. I loved it and having help and guidance at hand made it so enjoyable. I was glad to have existing sewing machine experience and I have already bought an embroidery foot for my sewing machine. Thank you Rachel I really enjoyed the session.
