"Really good fun learning the basics of free motion embroidery with Meg. She adapted her style to the varied needs of the group from absolute beginners to those with a little more experience. We all came away with a finished product and the inspiration to practice at home. Meg's studio is a welcoming space, well equipped and she herself is a warm, generous host and teacher. Highly recommend."

vanda Broadbridge reviewed: Beginners Freehand (freemotion) Machine Embroidery Workshop

"I travelled nearly 100 miles to attend this course because i felt the course information was exactly what I wanted to learn. I was more than pleased with the course and it was well worth the journey. Meg was very friendly and supportive to all the students concerning our varying needs which included problems with tension of the threads, machine embroidering text, colour and applique ideas. The length of course was just long enough to achieve some good pieces of work to get us started on our own ideas at home. An excellent teacher who had lots of varying examples of her own work to inspire us."
