• 5/5 from Kathryn Bull, attended Feb 2026: I learnt how to thread up my sewing machine, thread the needle, wind a bobbin, about the different stitches, how to change a needle. The different needles for different types of fabric and stitches. How things had changed since the last sewing machine I'd used! My teacher was fab - Kerry. She was very knowledgeable and very patient. After the workshop she helped me select some extra needles and bobbins ready for me to get cracking on some projects! The venue was good and Kerry had brought a good selection of materials for me to try out the Hobbycraft sewing machine. I liked that my questions were answered and with Kerry's knowledge she was able to give me info that I'd not even thought of! Well worth the money, time and effort.

• 5/5 from Isabel Trew, attended Oct 2023: Just finished my workshop with Kerry, and it exceeded all my expectations. She was so knowledgable and patient as I’d never used a sewing machine before. She was a brilliant teacher and really considered what I needed to know for my ambitions for my little business. It’s such good value as well for a private 121 lesson. Generally speaking I always find all the staff in hobby craft Nottingham so helpful and brilliant, always interested to hear about what you’re making. Couldn’t recommend this workshop highly enough. Thankyou Kerry
• 5/5 from Katie Henshaw, attended Oct 2023: Absolutely amazing class. Was really useful and I knew more than I thought I did and it was nice for the refresher
• 5/5 from Julie, attended Sep 2023: I really enjoyed my workshop, the tutor was knowledgeable and used easy simple language. She answered my questions and I feel like I have learned something and I will be putting that learning into practice over the weekend. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who hadn't used a sewing machine before or like myself I needed an overview of my machine and some tips about changing needles/feet and thread types.
• 5/5 from Susan Donington, attended Sep 2023: Thank you to Julie, lovely lady. After being bought a sewing machine for my birthday and I am a total beginner was interested in making a cushion cover, I learnt so much more, like how to do a zip, button hole, embroidery stitch and edging with zig zag stitches to changing the feet, tension, loads of stuff and in only an hour, now I need to go and practice. Thank you. Will definitely use this service again.
• 5/5 from Jade Sandhu, attended Aug 2023: Our teacher was lovely - personable, patient and covered everything we could possibly want to know. The venue was very warm but where we were sat upstairs was peaceful, quiet and calm - perfect for learning. The practice sheet of fabric with lines to follow was a great idea and allowed my daughter to have a go at sewing with the machine in a hands on fun way. Great value for money - £20 for an hour one-to-one session that covered all the basics and allowed my daughter to gain confidence before setting up her own machine. Booking was easy(ish) and allowed us to find a time to suit - only feedback would be that it may be quicker if available times are listed at initial enquiry stage to save emailing back and forth between customer, customer service and the store. We would definitely recommend and are planning on revisiting once we've mastered the basics and are ready to move on to a bigger project.

• 5/5 from Gaya Erskine, attended Jan 2023: I enjoyed my one to one sewing class with Julie. She was friendly professional and explain everything well.
