• 5/5 from Alison Poole, attended Oct 2025: Debbie was great she showed me the different stitches my machine will do. I found out there are different needles for the different materials as well as different feet. The venue layout made it easy to get round in my mobility scooter. Debbie was easy to talk to and made me feel relaxed. It was good to be able to buy the different needles needed right there in the store. I now know lycra is the most difficult material to sew.

• 5/5 from Elizabeth Taylor, attended Mar 2024: Beginners class in using a sewing machine and how to prep it. My teacher Debbie, was polite and thorough in her instructions. Very friendly and gave me good pointers on how to use the machine. I took away more knowledge, gained confidence, and enthusiasm to try what i have learnt from Debbie back home on my machine. I had a go on the machine with Debbie tutoring and helping when I needed it. Good value for money and I will be using the classes again in the future. I gained knowledge and im not as fearful to use my complex sewing machine anymore. Thank you Debbie, really enjoyed the class.
• 5/5 from Gemma Coley, attended Feb 2024: Debbie was amazing with my 12 year old, she hasn't stop sawing since the lesson. Thank you again Debbie
• 5/5 from Jane Griffiths, attended Jan 2024: I had a lesson this afternoon with Debbie. Debbie was very friendly and I felt comfortable as soon as I met her. She asked what I hoped to expect from our session. As I had recently bought a sewing machine I wanted to gain some confidence and my way around actually using it. Debbie started by threading the machine and then I followed her instructions and threaded the machine myself. I had a practice using different techniques and dials on the machine. Debbie offered good tips and advice to get the best from my machine. I really enjoyed my time at Hobbycraft this afternoon and I’m so grateful to Debbie for her help and advice. I would certainly recommend to anyone to sign up for courses and I would love to do another one in the near future.

• 4/5 from Maryam Daniel, attended Apr 2022: Sarah was new and still perfect for me as she was able to teach me the basics and gave me room to learn from mistakes. She was nice, friendly and helpful. I wish she could carry on with the further lessons I require on clothes sewing. Only down side is customers kept coming to her for assistance during my hour. Perhaps a room divider or separate room would have helped during my session.
• 5/5 from Charlene Whitehouse, attended Nov 2021: My instructor was Debbie and she was wonderful. She is really nice and answered all my question professionally and politely. We did normal stitches and patterns and even did a buttonhole. She even spend 10 mins looking at machines for me.
• 5/5 from Lisa Austin, attended Sep 2021: had to book for online for thurs but class was on a sat bec i work and can't make classes during the day. never used a machine before, was put completely at ease. i was shown and taken through the different parts of the machine, and she could name all the different feet attachments i had. I replaced the needle, shown the bobbin how to thread it, to fit the bobbin. provided with a pre-printed cotton cloth and did a couple of rows straight stitch but differnt stitch lengths. Shown how to move to zig zag and did a couple of rows different stich lenghts. The circle was too small but i was shown how to do corners. The pedal took a little getting used to but i was pleased with my first ever attempt. The tutor was very kind and encouraging throughout and repeated instructions and showed me the best way to hold, insert and move so i could get the hang of it. I was very emotional at the end of the hour because Hobbycraft have helped me keep my promise to my Aunt (whose machine i am using) and who sadly died before being able to tutor me. I've been welcomed back for further lessons or if i encounter any project issues. She was really interested and asked if i would take any projects in to show her. Tutor was very young but very knowledgeable. thank-you
• 5/5 from Michael Peabody, attended Aug 2021: I approached the tutorial with trepidation which was quickly dispersed by Debbie the tutor (TOP MARKS). I enjoyed the course and gained a knowledge of setting up the machine, its various functions and advise on pitfalls to avoid. At the sessions end I left feeling confident, enthused and pleased that the cost of the tutorial was money very well spent. Thank you Debbie and Hobbycraft.
