A review from a student who took an online class with us in May: "Took the 3 hour Intro to the Machine class and it was awesome. I was nervous & knew basically nothing about sewing. Diana was so patient, warm & her teaching style is very accessible. I learned all about my machine and don't feel intimidated by it anymore. Highly recommend her classes!"
