    Ranger was fantastic! I would take another class with them any day. In between clear instructions and the fire playlist they let us take the lead on the sewing machines and helped us order food from a local spot so we didn't starve. Would definitely recommend this class.

    Sewing 101: Tote Bag was a great intro class! I didn’t have any experience with a sewing machine prior to the class, but the instructor was able to give clear directions and the assignment was easy to follow. Highly recommend the class if you want to get a foundational understanding of a sewing machine and a fun tote bag!

    Anonymous review on 5/16/2022
    The class was great! I'm impressed with how well the teacher explained the steps. Describing how to thread a sewing machine is not easy and she did it very well. Every person started with almost no knowledge and left with a professional-looking tote bag. Really enjoyed this class and will definitely take another.
