What Students Say – Testimonials

“I joined Rachel for her Beginner’s Patchwork Sampler Quilt course a few years ago. Rachel is a patient teacher and effective communicator, who clearly knows her subject matter inside out. I was a complete beginner with no idea about fabric piecing when I started the course, but the techniques learnt have been an invaluable foundation to the contemporary textile art I now enjoy. I would recommend this course to anybody who likes to complete a project whilst learning; the finished quilt is perfect for snuggling under whilst watching TV.”

“Doing Rachel’s class, introduction to machine quilting, has taught me so much about my sewing machine; what stitches it can do, how to change and use the different feet and quilting accessories, how using different threads and changing the stitch length creates different effects and how to add texture and pattern to the plainest of fabrics

I’m not afraid of my machine any more. I love it!

Rachel’s classes are very enjoyable and she has endless patience. She is an excellent teacher and has a wealth of knowledge and expertise. She is completely unflappable and not at all fazed by any problem that you present her with. It is a huge credit to her that I have now completed a sampler quilt as I was very hesitant about my level of ability.

I thoroughly enjoy Rachel’s classes and find them very therapeutic. Long may they last!
