Before taking the class, please know that you should have your own machine in good working order, and how to use the basic functions. If you don't know how to use your machine, you can sign up for a private lesson to learn the ins and outs of it. They email you a supplies list before the class. Wow the class was amazing!! Sheryl was our instructor and she was so knowledgeable and patient with us. We learned how to stitch a basic line, curved lines, how to sew a hem, gather fabric and we even did a zipper! We even learned how to change needles and feet on our machines. The class flew by and by the end, I was ready to start sewing. I would recommend this business for anyone wanting to take on any crafting projects that require sewing. They have additional sewing project classes which I plan to attend in the future.

Went to have a painting framed, that I've had since the 90's…read more It was done by a family member and I am quite fond of it. A pretty good reproduction of an original Gauguin that happens to be in a nearby Pasadena art museum. Well, we paid a visit to Hobby Lobby, as we were picking up some things from nearby Whole Foods. The store occupies Sear's old location on Foothill. It's a huge place and designed to get you to walk around for things as signage isn't plentiful or helpful. Shelves are high so unless you are very tall you need to search around, guess they took that cue from Costco, it works if you aren't in a hurry. We were happy to find they had a framing department and also a fabric area, which, since the sad closing of JoAnne's, I was glad to see for the ghost of my mother who enjoyed sewing. I'm focusing on the Framing department and the friendly efficient gentleman in charge of that department, his name is Theo. He was helpful and friendly from the start. Their framing prices are posted as 50% off, which sounded great, but I guess the original prices need to be considered before seeing this as a good deal. Well, we checked on one style which had always been our original style we felt appropriate for this art work. We visited Tahiti a couple of years ago and and saw some Gaugain copies framed in a similar style, it works very well, so we inquired as to cost and estimated the size as we didn't have the painting with us. It was very reasonable compared to the frame shops we have checked over the decades, yes, decades! It was a very fair price, not knowing the quality of the work was something to consider, but Theo was very efficient and knew his products and was very meticulous. We could tell we were in very good hands. We were quoted, less the 50%, a little under $100 before tax. A very fair price. We were given a "finish by date", and 5 days before that date I gave a call to check on status, I was told it would be done in a couple of days. I was surprised and happy to receive a message later that day from Theo that our framing job was finished and available for pick up. We got over there that evening and Though Theo was gone then, a nice young lady got our finished product for us. It looked very nice. She walked us and the painting up to the lone cashier, as that is their policy, and we waited in line to pay. They did open another register as the line was about 6 people deep. I'm not going to get into their company politics, but over all it was a positive experience, especially thanks to Theo and his friendly, knowledgeable service and framing skill. Thanks Theo!

Last year she assisted me with fabric to upholster my sofa and for coordinating fabrics for pillows.

Her challenge was to meet the specific measurements for the bed frame and she did so to perfection! Equally as important, I want to acknowledge the high quality workmanship for my projects.

I've been following them since I was 14, and from the very beginning, I knew they would be a nonnegotiable for my wedding--and now, I can say with 100% certainty that choosing them was one of the best decisions we made. From day one, Debbie, Alondra, Stephanie, Rachel, Presilla, Frida, and Adriana poured their hearts into every single detail. They weren't just our wedding planners--they were our designers, our florists, our coordinators, our late-night therapists (yes, answering 1 AM and 2 AM texts!), and truly our fairy godmothers. Every event they touched--from our bridal shower to the big day--was pure magic. They helped us contact vendors, designed and created our stunning invitations, and even arranged florals for our bridal shower. On the wedding day itself, they were everywhere, making sure timelines were followed to the minute, guests were taken care of, vendors were managed, and every single detail was flawless. They even made sure we and our loved ones were fed, hydrated, and happy--which might sound small, but trust me, it's everything on a day like that. Austin and I didn't have to think twice about anything. They were ten steps ahead of us at all times. Their eye for detail, impeccable organization, and genuine care made this feel like the epitome of luxury service. And somehow, on top of all that, they still made us feel like family--like they were personally invested in making sure our day was unforgettable. I'm already dreaming up our next event just so we can work with them again. If you're looking for wedding planners, designers, florists--humans--who will pour their heart and soul into your day, look no further. Aquafuzion isn't just a vendor--they're a blessing.

It far exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier that we chose them! The team was consistently organized, proactive, and responsive, always staying on top of timelines and logistics. What stood out most was their willingness to go above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. Many of our questions and concerns related to both planned/unexpected situations were always anticipated and addressed before we even had to ask. Their professionalism gave us peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our wedding day without any stress. All of the vendors recommended by them such as the venue and DJ/MC were excellent. Also, our cake by the recommended bakery looked amazing and tasted delicious! Thanks to Aquafuzion, everything ran smoothly and beautifully. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated team to plan/fulfill their big day!
