• 5/5 from Pam Baranowski-Johnson, attended May 2023: As I was about to spend a lot of money on a new sewing machine it was money well spent learning about the machine and how it works before I bought it. In fact after talking with the teacher before we started I opted for a different machine to that I originally looked at.
• 5/5 from Zaneta Powala, attended Apr 2023: Sharon was really great and talked me through setting up the sowing machine and basic stitches which is just what I needed before I purchase my first sowing machine! She was super informative and really friendly. Would 100% recommend this class to friends/family and Sharon is certainly an asset to Hobbycraft!

• 5/5 from Nicola Riley, attended Mar 2022: Brilliant session. Learnt about my machine and got help with my project. Great value for £15! The lady who ran the session couldn't have been nicer. Given me confidence to work with my machine at home. I would definitely recommend
• 5/5 from Tracy Meier, attended Oct 2021: Teacher was very good, learnt a lot and need to put it practise now. For a beginner it was very interesting
• 3/5 from Susan Mulrey, attended Sep 2021: The area was upstairs and away from the busiest part of the store. The teacher was approachable, and easy to talk to, she was informative about my machine. She showed me several features I wasn't aware of. I'd asked for help with zips and particular stitches. I was asked before I came what I wanted help with, and to bring my machine and any project in with me. It became obvious after 15min that I was not going to do any sewing, this was not made clear in the emails I received. I also brought two types of zips and material. I only had verbal instructions which was a little disappointing. The materials supplied by Hobbycraft were several small material squares with printed stiches to practice on at home. It was obvious these were for beginners. I had expected to be shown how to insert and sew an invisible zip and shown stitches such as stitch in the ditch etc. These were only verbally explained, I was discouraged from using an invisible zip as "they were tricky". I wish to make dresses and top so this type of zip would be inevitable. I had explained before coming that I'd previously been a sewer but lacked confidence as I had not sewn for many years. Although there were gaps with sewing in the tuition I did feel I benefited from the course regarding the use of my machine.
• 5/5 from Carole Jackson, attended Aug 2021: Sharon, my teacher, was very friendly and patient. She explained everything very clearly. Excellent value for money.
• 5/5 from Sarah Hirst, attended Aug 2021: The lady that took the session was fabulous, she taught me lots about my sewing machine. I am not quite a complete novice but not far off. I have had the machine for a couple of years and hardly used it the lady showed me lots of tips and uses. I definitely would recommend this session to anybody who wants to know the ins and outs of your machine. It is definitely worth the money. I might have another session when I am more used to the machine, to learn more about the decorative stitches. Thank you for a lovely time.
