A few things to know 💖 Arriving on time Out of respect for everyone’s learning time, I ask that participants arrive on time where possible. Children, carers & companions Children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult or guardian. Carers and support workers do not need to purchase a ticket. Friends, carers, guardians and children are always welcome to come along as companions -no ticket required. There’s a lounge area available for anyone who would like to stay nearby without participating in the class. Bring your own machine option (BYO) If you choose to bring in your own machine it is essential you know how to use this machine as we do not have the time during the class to figure this out. Furthermore if we are doing a class that involves zipper insertion, please make sure your machine has the correct zipper foot attachment. Can’t make it?
