    This is a great class. The instructor is patient, clear, funny and knowledgeable. The classroom is tucked in the back of a cute quilt shop stocked with lots of fabric and sample quilts (inspiring!). You'll leave the class knowing how to do a basic straight stitch (not sure if that's the technical name), plus a hand-made pillow.

    Our teacher, Charles Johns was very clear with his instructions, very informative, funny and more importantly, very patient with us. It was amazing to see our finished products (our pillows) which we were all so proud of - and to think that most of us have never touched a sewing machine before!
