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

Additional instructions

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.
