Liz H reviewed: "Through the Garden Gate" - Machine Embroidery Workshop

"This is an excellent course and I came away with such confidence and an abundance of ideas to take me forward. I also have a picture I love and would have thought beyond my ability before this course. Jen is an excellent teacher and each participant was able to produce their own individual and different take on the principles by being guided and supported by Jen to follow our likes and ability….encouraged to be creative and ‘daring’. A fantastic environment to work in, the pace is steady but never feels pressured. Highly recommended. I will be back. Thank you. "

Sew Forest of Dean responded:

" Thank you so much for such a lovely review Liz. It's always fascinating to see how people respond to the various techniques I demonstrate and it was wonderful that you embraced them all within your work. Your finished picture was a delight and I'm sure it's just the start of your exploration of the techniques we covered. I can't wait to see your work and skills develop further! Thanks again Liz, always a pleasure to share my studio space with you. Jen"
