Recent reviews of One-to-one Machine Knitting Class
- 5/5 from Heather Scott, attended Jul 2026: I absolutely loved my session with Claire. It was a birthday gift to see if I liked machine knitting and if I wanted to take it any further, and I definitely do. Claire was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable. She tailored the session to what I wanted, introducing me to a machine that she recommended for what I’m interested in, clothing and textile samples. We then spent a happy couple of hours where Claire ran me through set up and the machine capability. We created a sample trying out different techniques, including lace, ladder and using a pattern and Claire recommended places to get a machine. I’m very happy with the session and would definitely recommend it. Thanks Claire
- 5/5 from Mumtaz Quayum, attended Dec 2024: My friend and I wanted to learn how to use a sk280 knitting machine and Claire did not disappoint! She taught us the basics of how to cast on, knit normally and then with a pattern card and then cast off, answering questions clearly and comprehensively throughout. We were able to make notes/videos so we did not forget everything once we got home. Will definitely book again once we have had the basics mastered! Would definitely recommend her class.
- 5/5 from Hiu, attended Oct 2024: Clarie is a highly professional and experienced knitting teacher. Her teaching methods are clear and easy to follow. I highly recommend Clarie to anyone looking to learn knitting.
- 5/5 from Laetitia Dube, attended Apr 2024: Today I had a machine knitting class with Claire Newberry at her knitting studio in Northampton. The studio is equipped with different types of knitting machines -domestic and industrial, all types of yarns and several samples of knitted designs. I learnt to use the Silver Reed knitting machine i.e casting on, cable stitch, rubbing using a single bed, using punch cards, shaping (increasing and decreasing) and casting off. I took home the sample I knitted as well as other samples I liked. Claire is a brilliant teacher. She provided me with information that I needed to choose the machine that meets my needs. Lesson was definitely valuable for money.
- 5/5 from Shellah Chakandinakira, attended Jul 2023: Pleasant teacher, full of patience. Provides a step to step guide until the learner understands the point. Great and peaceful working environment.
