L.D. –
I have just completed the 10 week introductory course and it has been fantastic. I started with no idea how to use my sewing machine and after 10 weeks I’m able to carry out simple projects using the techniques I’ve learned. Martha is a great teacher and the classes are fun and engaging. Highly recommended.
