Recent reviews of One-to-one Sewing Workshop

• 5/5 from Nicole Groves, attended Sep 2026: Debbie was very patient and explained everything I needed to get going on my machine. Although the lesson wasn't on the machine I'd bought, she explained the similarities and at the end of the lesson went through the steps on the machine I have. I would definitely recommend this one-to-one as a great starting point for your sewing adventure.
• 5/5 from Fong Yau, attended Sep 2026: I learnt so much about my machine and raring to start using it on my own. I was able to tailor the class to my needs and I will 100% recommend this.
• 5/5 from Melissa Proctor, attended Sep 2026: I booked this workshop with Debbie as I needed some help in using my sewing machine. I have several years of experience of using a very basic machine but have struggled to use my new digital machine. I met her in store when shopping and she said she could help me to trouble shoot my difficulties in a one to one session. I did not know that I could actually book to have help specifically with using my own machine. Debbie was very approachable, instantly putting me at ease and her expertise was boundless and she was able to demonstrate how different aspects of my machine worked and helped me to gain my confidence in using my machine again.
• 4/5 from Sheila Martin, attended Apr 2026: It was great having a one to one, plenty of time to ask questions, re-do what I was unsure about. I left feeling inspired to get my machine out and start to play. My only small gripe was that the area felt quite cramped, people were walking past chatting (with not a lot of room) and one gentleman decided to interrupt us to ask questions about glue. I would have preferred an area tucked away. Having said that I would go back for further lesson
