My sister & I attended the “Introduction to Needlepoint Class” in September. The class was small with two instructors which was perfect for providing individual assistance & feedback. The instructors were very knowledgeable & judge free. After class, we had an opportunity to shop in the store though there was no pressure to buy anything. I purchased my first project & some accessories. I’ve already been back twice to purchase additional supplies for new canvases. I’m hoping to attend an advanced needlepoint class in the future.
Very excited to get started on Needlpoint!
I loved the needlepoint class! The instruction was at the perfect pace with plenty of hands on practice. I loved the opportunity to shop at the end!
My sister and I had a wonderful time at the beginning needlepoint class! The instructors were very knowledgeable and gave helpful hints and tips. We enjoyed the practice time and personal assistance from the instructors. We also really enjoyed being able to shop after the class with help and tips from the instructors.
