Relatively new to sewing/dressmaking, I tried to make buttonholes by myself but got very stuck and jammed up my machine. I booked the one-to-one to learn how to make buttonholes (which I did with and without the buttonhole foot) and how to clean and maintain my machine. Tasha (the “original Tasha” at Hull - there are two) was lovely, friendly and helpful. She demonstrated and let me have a go, explaining everything clearly step by step. I would definitely book again for help on a project. The only issue was that the machine in store had an automatic buttonhole feature that mine doesn’t, so I’d like to have been allowed to take my own. I have learned enough that I’ll be able to do a buttonhole manually though.

Staff very welcoming and friendly. Loved opening the specially wrapped box and discovering all the things inside. Ran out of time but will be able to finish at home. Looking forward to doing the Christmas Wreath workshop in a couple of weeks.
