    This was a great class as intro to using a sewing machine. By the end we'd made pin cushions and I felt very confident to use my machine at home and thread the machine. Nancy was a great teacher!

    I have taken sewing classes before where I went to class and used their machines, then I went home and was intimidated by my own machine being different. By taking my machine to this class and really learning it, I am now so confident that I have started a project immediately at home. The instructor's pace was great for beginner level. Her information was clearly understood and her advanced preparation made the process very organized. Thank you.

I see no materials are needed for this class but will materials be provided to us in class to have something to make so we have something to work on/practice on while we are there? Ie; the beginners class in Manhattan provides material to make a pin cushion.
