• 5/5 from Jeeva Joseph Vasudevan, attended Aug 2026: I loved the workshop.. Kath was so good in explaining all the details and she gave lots of tips and tricks to practice later on. She was patient and let me make mistakes and learn from it. So I'm now confident to tackle and trouble when I practice by myself. She also let me try to add a lining to my crochet project that I carried with me. That gave me much confidence and exactly what I requested for when booking. Thank you so much Kath.

• 5/5 from Siobhan Hughes, attended Jan 2025: As a sewing machine novice, I was apprehensive to visit a store and ask a stranger for help. However, Kath allayed my fears from the start. Her warm and friendly personality put me at ease and her teaching style of demonstrating and then allowing me to emulate was perfect for my learning style. I learnt how to set up the Hobbycraft 19s and carried out a range of basic sewing stitches. I was so engaged and confident by the end of the session that I purchased the Hobbycraft 19s. Thank you Kath for your time and patience and I look forward to visiting you again soon.

• 5/5 from John Backley, attended Nov 2024: I needed some help with using a sewing machine to make curtains, it's an ongoing project that ran into problems. I learned tons, lots of things I wouldn't have learned by myself. The teacher was wonderful, full of hints, tips and positivity. I loved the fact that I was mostly told what to do, not shown, Everyone learns faster by doing things. My 'teacher' behaved more like a friend to be honest, kept things interesting and was a very good listener. 10 stars out of five.

• 5/5 from Zoe Elliott-Bevan, attended Aug 2024: I went to a 1:1 sewing workshop at the Silverlink branch. My teacher was lovely, patient and encouraging. She provided plenty of materials and provided me with some spare ones to practice on at home. She taught me how to thread the machine, how to use the machine. The lesson was very active and I got ample time to practice and there was no pressure to buy anything from the store, it is purely a lesson on how to begin sewing.
