Great Course. My box was already opened to check I had everything. Gold Hoops weren’t in the boxes so the teacher grabbed them from store. Teacher didn’t have a box herself either so she took parts from a garland to train us. Venue is nice, but a warm drink and biscuit would definitely improve the experience. Be careful with your Parking. I was just fined by Euro Parks for staying a little longer on my embroidery course there. It does take about 10-15 mins to get a park especially with Christmas crowds. Teacher lovely, kind, and patient even with people constantly asking her for assistance when clearly she’s trying to run a class. It was stop start and we do pay for it and feel it’s a real distraction, but because of the openness she can’t ignore them. On the embroidery course I had a lady sit next to me who wasn’t on the course and hadn’t washed in a long time, it was distracting and an assault on my senses. Incidentally I also had to keep a close eye on my handbag. On this one my main frustration was with getting the extra bits to make it whole because the blue berry sold out. I had to hunt stock in other stores by telephone myself. Very Happy with my finished piece though which is why it’s 5 Stars from me.

What a pure treat! I have always wanted to learn embroidery, to keep my hands occupied whilst watching tv instead of raiding crisp packets, a lockdown habit I had to shake. On this course you receive your own box with everything you need for the class. It was wrapped so beautifully, like a present just for me. It was just joyful unwrapping the tissue paper parcels to containing the bits n bobs for the course. My teacher Sam was everything you want in a teacher and more, she is incredibly kind, thoughtful, patient, knowledgeable, and just pure fun. I was worried that the pace of the course maybe a little too fast for me, but it wasn’t at all. You go at your own pace on this course. It is a very gentle class, a natter with needles and I absolutely loved it. The only thing missing was a refreshment. The experience would be enhanced with a cuppa tea and a biscuit for this hobby circle of joy, especially on a cold day.
