I started taking sewing lessons with Ruth Grey-Respert late January and I cannot believe how much I have learned. Not only have I learned to use my sewing machine but Ruth also helped me to gain confidence to finally pull my serger out the box after being terrified of it! LOL Anyone who has seen a serger knows that they can be intimidating at first glance not to mention to learn how to thread it. I brought my serger into class and she helped me thread it and then had me thread the upper and lower loopers and needles from start to finish so that I could thread it when I was at home. She always takes the time for her students when they have questions. No question or suggestion is ever turned away!
Now since I have been my serger quite a bit, I absolutely love it!
Anyone who wants to learn how to sew like a professional, whether it is crafts, clothing or home decor, she is an excellent teacher for anything that gets your creative juices flowing. My goal was to learn how to make baby clothing, pillows and eventually work with Lycra for skating dresses and other costumes. I am finally at the point where I am almost ready to work with 4 way stretch materials. I know that I would not have learned as quickly and learned good sewing techniques without such a fabulous teacher.
The art of sewing is an invaluable gift that I am learning and although I have a lot more to learn, I know that one day that I will be able to make anything I want.
5 stars for Ruth!! read more
