    Great class to introduce you to working a sewing machine! Jessica, the teacher, was patient and explained things really well. My class only had two other students so we go through the project pretty quickly and got extra help when needed. Will be taking more classes here for sure!

    Was a great course to relearn the basics of a machine and sewing. Completed a simple tote project and Anna even helped me look at my own machine after class so I felt comfortable starting projects at home. Couldn’t recommend more for anyone starting or getting back into sewing looking for a refresher

    I learned a lot from the class (machine basics, seams, pins, and zigzag shears). The instructor was all business because we covered so much material. I came home with a sturdy denim tote bag and a sense of accomplishment. I plan on taking more courses from Coursehorse.
