“Really good informative class for beginners. Got through loads of information in the class and really enjoyed it. Susan is very patient and had lots of tips and tricks to get the best out of using your machine. Especially enjoyed learning how to sew a concealed zip as I had never done a zip before.”

“You are a great teacher. You showed me basic sewing techniques. I went there with a new sewing machine, and there were some really nice stitches. But you helped me get used to my own machine. Thank you very much.”
