“Really enjoyed the beginners embroidery class. Teacher was great - very clear explanations and demonstration of the various stitches at a level and pace which made it very easy to follow. Good sized class - 5participants - meant that she was able to give extra individual support when required. Kit provided was very good quality and comprehensive with written instructions and links to online help with moving forward with project. Would definitely recommend class”

“This workshop was brilliant! Learnt all the key stitches and got all the bits to take away to get you started. The pack you get to take away is so helpful to remind you of anything you might have forgotten from the class. You get to pick your own design which I really liked. Sammy was so helpful and patient which made the session so relaxing. Would highly recommend especially if you have never done a single stitch before!”

“Great class for starting out in embroidery. The teacher was brilliant and had so many designs to choose from - spoilt for choice. Really helpful tips and 121 tuition added to the value. Good chat as well so 3 hours passed really quickly. Talked through the basic stitches we would need for our pattern, I chose a dragonfly. Also enjoyed the company and chat with the other people in the class. Thank you everyone for making it a fun morning.”
