• 5/5 from Elizabeth Marshall, attended Jun 2025: Sewing machine intro one to one. Haven’t sewn for a long while. Had a very good hour of clear instruction, from the basics to practicing stitching. Plenty of little tips to remind us. Thank you.
• 5/5 from Liz Child, attended May 2025: Very helpful practical session, covering everything I needed to know in a calm & concise manner. I came home & used my sewing machine straight away!
• 5/5 from Santina Taylor, attended Apr 2025: I attended the workshop to learn how to use the settings on my new sewing machine. The teacher was very friendly, helpful and thorough. It helped me understand what I was doing wrong on my sewing machine, it made a big difference being shown rather than reading the instruction leaflet.
• 5/5 from Yvonne, attended Jan 2025: I booked the workshop as I am a total beginner using a sewing machine. I just needed someone to go through the basics. The Hobbycraft instructor was very good and helpful and answered all my queries. I was a bit nervous, but I really enjoyed the workshop. I came away from the session will a little more confidence and I learned some good tips. I will now practice what I learned and hopefully this will get me going on my sewing journey. If I need help in the future I will certainly book another session. Thank you.

• 4/5 from Kamlesh Suri, attended Apr 2023: The venue was good and June my teacher was very helpful and explaining things properly. It will be excellent value for money if you want to learn the specific skills of sewing but in my case I wanted to know how to operate my sewing machine but you are not allowed to bring your own machine.
• 5/5 from Diane Shaw, attended Mar 2023: The lady (June) who showed me how to use my new sewing machine to its best advantage was excellent. I can’t wait to get started at home. But anything I need in the future I will certainly look for June in store. Thank you - excellent
• 3/5 from Katie Sykes, attended Mar 2023: The lesson was Ok but the instructor was grumpy and the first 15 minutes were really awkward.
• 5/5 from Dawn Crabtree, attended Feb 2023: Had a 1-2-1 with Jan at the Guiseley store on Friday. I bought my machine at the store previously and asked if they could fit me in for a 1-2-1 at short notice which Becky arranged for me there and then to attend the following day. Jan was all prepared with the exact machine I had purchased. I managed to park right outside and there was a lift to the floor where the workshop was being held. I thoroughly enjoyed the tutorial. I was shown and guided to do everything from scratch. Jan showed me what to do and then I did the same tasks by myself. Jan was very practical, enthusiastic and was able to answer every question I asked. She even gave me practical solutions to little problems I had been having with my sewing projects. This workshop was great value for money. I will definitely be booking another as my skills improve. I was confident enough to go straight home and unbox my machine. I made a simple scrunchie as my first project. Looking forward to doing much more. Dawn Crabtree

• 5/5 from Joanne Matthews, attended May 2022: Very helpful. Teacher June was great and answered all my queries. Only problem was that unable to demonstrate buttonhole function as the machine wouldn't work. June suggested I try on my own machine at home & contact her in store if any problems.
