Do I need to bring my own machine?
Yes – We no longer provide sewing machines. Please be aware that we cannot accept liability if you have any problems with your own machine. It will need to be in good working order and electrically safe, with a working foot cable, power pedal and machine-specific instructions.

If you have any specific queries you can always email us. One week before the course begins we will add you to a WhatsApp group for any final arrangements and to meet your fellow classmates.
