    Review of ElizaBeth Rohloff, July 06, 2009

    I enrolled in one of Beth's beginner sewing classes. Her clear instructions and patient manner made my learning to sew a quick process. By the end of the first class I had hemmed the 5 pairs of pants that I brought along with me.
    Great savings!
    Quality machines!

    Review of ElizaBeth Rohloff, April 01, 2009

    I went into this class not knowing anything about using a sewing machine. I had never used a machine before & was afraid to try it. Elizabeth was a great teacher, very knowledgeable & very patient. She did not make me feel stupid for not knowing the simple basics and put me at ease. I was able to complete 3 projects after just 5 classes! I would definitely recommend her class to anyone. I look forward to taking more sewing classes from Elizabeth in the future.
