Excellent! There were a few staff there and they were very helpful (as usual). We had plenty of room to complete our project.

This class is perfect for those students who have purchased a machine from The Sewing Room, those who have never used a machine and for those wanting a refresher on how to use their own machine. You may wish to bring your own machine, but it is NOT required. We have enough sewing machines for all students.
