A great class covering the beginning skills for using a sewing machine. Looking forward to the next one.

Loved the one on one. Going to sign up for series.

Really fun class and great environment. Tisa did a nice job of teaching us about sewing and breaking out each step.

Sewing to Save Lives is such a great concept! We learned bag construction, knit sewing, and zipper techniques while making the bags. And since practice makes perfect, making these bags on my own will be good for the kittens and good for my sewing skills. If you are wanting to practice your skills while making something use that doesn't have to be purr-fect, take this class! Socializing feral born kittens is so important so your good deeds will be appreciated!

A great class and you get to donate your project to needy kitties at the end!

Really well taught class! I took it with my 14 year old daughter and Tish made it understandable for both of us. Great value for everything you learn.

I learned a lot and at a good pace. It was interesting and presented well. I liked the hands on approach and suggestiond that were given. I got more out of the class because of the class size. I felt comfortable to ask questions and make comments when I didn't understand. It was great learning environment and I appreciated every minut of it.

Very interactive class with an attentive teacher. Could not have asked for a better experience. I can’t wait until I can take another class from Tish, she’s energetic and professional with so much knowledge to share.

Tish was a great teacher. She simplifies the whole process making it easy to understand and duplicate. I'll definitely take her intermediate classes to further my education. I highly recommend.

Tish was great! She made it fun and easy to learn for newbie to sewing.

Very informative session that was built around useful techniques. I can definitely put these tips into place immediately in my sewing work!

Absolutely loved this class as my first Dabble experience. Can’t wait to sign up for the series when it happens on a day I can commit to for a few weeks in a row. I bought my first sewing machine a few weeks after. Would highly recommend the class.

Loved it! Small class and personal attention. Interested in taking more classes from her!

Best class I’ve ever taken ! The teacher was so fun and had an amazing personality. She was so easy to learn valuable information from . The class setting was very small and personal which was a plus for me . Highly recommend !

Tish was wonderful! I learned a lot in this class, even some corrections to things I thought I already knew. Tish has a great teaching style and I loved the small class.

Good introduction for a complete beginner!

This class was very good! I found out I was doing several things wrong with using my sewing machine. Instructor help every student (there is only 3 per class) with their individual machines. Class went longer than an hour (which was fine) as we covered a lot of material and asked a lot of questions.

Class was great! So fun making socialization bags for kitties. Tish is an awesome teacher!

The class was great! Tish is a great teacher and it was fun to learn some of the basics of sewing and using a sewing machine!

This class was fun and I felt like I did something to help cats in animal shelters! This was a small class of 3 of us, and Tish was a wonderful, patient, and hands on teacher. We learned how to put in zippers and work with knit fabric, and why needles and stitches for woven and knits must be different. I'm really glad that I found Tish's classes on Dabble (I took her Introduction to Sewing class previously) and plan to continue to take more to learn more from her. I couldn't recommend this class or Tish as a teacher any more highly. Take any/all of her classes!

Tish was awesome! I've barely sewed prior to coming to the class and she made it fun and exciting to learn!

The class was great. Liked the small class size. Lots of useful information for a beginner

This class was perfect for a great introduction to sewing - just what I was looking for, as I had no experience with a sewing machine. I appreciated the small class size, and I loved that everything was included and we were able to make something to take home. I learned a lot and am excited to take more classes!

Loved the class! The instructor was very knowledgeable and engaging. It was exciting to complete a project within one class. I had so much fun and definitely coming back for more classes with Tish.

This was a great beginner class! Our instructor made me feel very comfortable and was beyond knowledgeable. It made me want to take all the classes they offer!

I have never used a sewing machine and so was scared I'd fail miserably, but Tish was kind, patient, funny, and engaging, and I learned to use a sewing machine, and even made a needle holder to take home with me (class project)! This was a lot of fun and I'm so glad I did it. Tish was very hands on and helpful, and gave excellent directions and assistance. I'll be signing up for more of her sewing classes, and you should too!

This is my second time taking a sewing class and I have to say this one is a better experience in every way. The class is small so the teacher can actually float back to each student and our teacher is awesome. I actually feel confident about sewing now and this was just 2 out of the 5 classes. I will definitely be signing up for more.

The experience was amazing. Tish is very hands on and fun. I can't wait to sign up for my next class.

I wanted to review sewing skills, right from the beginning. I took the Sewing Machine Basics class. I can not believe how much I learned tonight. I was never taught how to correctly maintain my machine. I also learned about how to correct tension, and a lot of other helpful things that I should have learned years ago.

When this class started, and I realized there was a whole lot more to making button holes than I would have anticipated, I thought I'd never be able to do it. But, when I made my first button hole in class I was very excited! Now I know what the different types of button holes are, on what fabrics you would use them, how to measure it to fit your button, and finally sewing a button hole. It was great leaving class knowing I could feel confident in trying it on my own.

Fabulous Class! Since I'm new to sewing and have just purchased my first sewing machine, I really needed this class. Going in I didn't feel confident on how to thread my own machine or even know where everything was located and how to use it. After this class I feel much more confident in being able to clean and use my sewing machine.

I've always wanted to learn how to sew and HISS made it so easy! I am shocked that I was able to make the project we made on my very first attempt with a sewing machine. I will be back for more classes, as this is definitely something I want to do more of!

Buttonholes class was really a useful class. Tish, our teacher made the class very interesting and fun. At the end of the class we were able to make our own buttonholes, she also shared few tips and tricks that helped us to correct our measurements. I have also taken beginner sewing series from her and her class always comes with useful facts and she is good in paying attention to all the students in the classes.

The craft that she has us sew is very cute and great way to learn. This is a great way to test the waters with sewing without an overload of information.

This was a great class! Tish is a wonderful teacher and gives lots of one on one attention. She provides verbal instructions, visuals and models each step; making it ideal for all types of learners. I suggest if you are starting out with your own machine, take the basics class first, as our machines were already threaded for us upon arrival. I hope to take her sewing series in the future. Thanks, Tish!

Tish, my instructor, was enthusiastic, prepared and obviously loves her subject. I had a grand time getting over my unreasonable fear of sewing by machine! She's got a great knack for knowing how to put together a class presentation that flows well and makes perfect sense. A++ and highly recommended!

Each class I've been to has been great! Learning the little things with direct instruction is invaluable. Definitely going to continue.

Great teacher! Really takes the time to break things down and make sure all is understood.

This series was really fabulous. I went from knowing virtually nothing about sewing, to having confidence to try a variety of projects. Each class is focused on one aspect of sewing which makes learning how to sew less intimidating. Tish is always prepared with materials and presentations for each class. And she knows what she's talking about! She has years of experience and had so many helpful tips that are really beneficial to a newbie. Take this series - you'll learn a ton!

Tish is amazing. She knows what we need to know, gets the info across quickly, and keeps us engaged. Time flies in this class.

I loved this class. It was a great experience to experiment and learn some very basic steps for sewing. The class also let's you test out your appetite for sewing so you leave class knowing if it's something you want to explore more.

I've taken another class with Tish and would happily take more! She's a great, patient teacher who is fully prepared and takes the time to make sure each person understands how to do the particular task being demonstrated. She followed up via email with all the notes from the class.

Great overview. Tish knows sewing and is a great teacher. I appreciate the small class size.

I enjoy Tish’s classes. Very personalized instruction.

Class was excellent. Small classes allow individual attention. Teacher gives positive feedback.

Even though I grew up sewing, I never realized how much my mom took care of behind the scenes! I wouldn't have been able to get my machine up and running without this class (as evidenced by the huge clump of knots I "sewed" when attempting to hem a pair of jeans). Can't wait for more classes to be posted after the holidays. I'll be back for sure!

Fun class, well organized, and you get to make a thing! Also, I'm not terrified of sewing machines anymore!

Highly recommend! Tish took the time to help each person with their specific machine, making sure we each understood the nuances of our particular machines. She followed up via email with notes from the class and let us know that we could reach out to her with any specific issues/questions that we came up with after the class.

After years of waiting for the right time to sign up for a sewing class for beginners, I finally had the chance. It's been two days since I attended this class, and I just want to say that my experience was great. Hopefully, I will earn another chance to sign up for another session.

Tish is amazing. She knows what we need to know, gets the info across quickly, and keeps us engaged. Time flies in this class.

I recently took the Introduction to Sewing class with Tish and I have to say it was great! I have very little experience with sewing and Tish did a great job of demystifying the whole process and we were sewing within 15 minutes. This class has inspired me to take the next beginner series! Tish was an excellent instructor and made the class really fun. Highly recommended!

I went into this class knowing zero about sewing machines! Tish was patient and informative and made me feel comfortable asking questions or re showing me something I didn't understand. I can't wait to sign up for more classes now that I have the basics down!

Tish is great! Even if you can't sew, you will not be intimidated. And you will leave the First class with a cute little needle carrying case. I have signed up for her intro to sewing series!

This is a great class for beginners. I learned a lot about each sewing machine, as well as sewing techniques. Tish is a great teacher with a fun, 80's sewing playlist! I would highly recommend this class - far exceeded my expectations and is an incredible price. Looking forward to more classes taught by Tish!

Everything was taught so easily and with great energy! Highly recommend!! 😜😜😜

Excellent class! I had a lot of fun, and learned some things about sewing. I will take more classes when I get a chance.

I had a great time! in less than two hours, Tish helped refresh my very VERY basic knowledge of how the machines work and how to sew seams. I left class with a completed a project. Tish, the teacher, was friendly and knowledgeable. I will be back!

This was a great first class - super informative and easy to follow. Tish is a great teacher!

Great overview of how to read a pattern. Tish is very approachable and willing to answer (my many) questions.

This class was a great low pressure way to get into sewing. I walked in knowing nothing about how to use a sewing machine, and walked out with a cute finished project! Small class and personal attention - highly recommend!

The instructor is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

Tish was very thorough and personable. She made the information very accessible and useful.

Great teacher! Really takes the time to break things down and make sure all is understood.

I'm currently taking the Beginning sewing series and i couldn't be happier! I'm learning skills that are beneficial to future solo projects. I love that Tish teaches actual skills instead of just throwing stuff at you with no background or other information. But this class is different and I'm so glad I found it. Can't wait for the next series.

Got lots of good info as usual with Tish. Thanks!

This was a natural finish to the three classes I took back to back from Sewbago. In the past, I've only dared to take sewing classes and create projects with a teacher present. After my time with Tish, I feel confident enough to embark on a project on my own... for a bit. I'll be back to to take her other classes for the other skills I need too. The Perfect Fit... here I come! Thank you!

I've always been intimidated by the sewing pattern envelopes, but Tish took time to go over everything in detail and was patient with my numerous questions. Thank you!

Tish was energetic, intelligent, friendly, organized and full of information. I took her three classes back to back, and by the end, my head pleasantly tingled with everything she taught me. After this particular class, I realized how much more there is to selecting fabric than picking out the pretty patterns. Thank you!

Was better then I imagined it could be.
Quick Goldilocks over view. Not too much, not too little and then we started sewing.
She had a basic project (but not something that made you feel like a 6yo) planned out for us that incorporated and reinforced the primary skill set she had laid out at the beginning of the class. I was impressed with her thoroughness and friendly desire to make sure we were having fun but maybe more importantly learned something about sewing. Well Done!

Each class I've been to has been great! Learning the little things with direct instruction is invaluable. Definitely going to continue.

Tish, my instructor, was enthusiastic, prepared and obviously loves her subject. I had a grand time getting over my unreasonable fear of sewing by machine! She's got a great knack for knowing how to put together a class presentation that flows well and makes perfect sense. A++ and highly recommended!

I have been dabbling in my own for three years after being gifted a machine. I have just winged it and watched videos on YouTube but never really feeling like I know what I am doing. Even clueless I love making cloths and stuff toys from old patterns from the 1950's and 1970's. I decided to dig in and really learn how to sew. I am so glad I did, one class down and I already am more excited and understanding what I am doing even more.

This was an instructive class and left me feeling comfortable making easy stitches. I am not as afraid of my sewing machine now which is also a nice feeling. Lots of great advice for sewing machines and the best practices for my personal sewing goals. Would take other classes from this studio, and plan to.

I had a great time and really liked the project I completed for take home. I feel that with just this class there are quite a few sewing projects I could take on and my understanding of the machine is much expanded.

I always learn something in my Dabble sewing classes. The instructor was very knowledgeable and answered a lot of my questions about the projects I have worked on. She also gave me advice on techniques and tools that would make my projects turn out better.

Fun and informative! Can't wait to expand my sewing skills with this teacher!

I really enjoyed this class. Very organized and informative.

It was a great class! Very informative. I'll definitely be taking other sewing classes with HISS Studio!

This was a great class and a perfect intro level overview of sewing. I was a bit overwhelmed by the intricacies of a sewing machine coming in, but the class was structured perfectly between hand-holding and real learning. I made a fun project and learned enough basics to set a great foundation for future courses. The small class size was just right too, enough helping available but also enough room to practice on your own.

Tish was very thorough. She explained the workings of the machine since we were all beginners. She walked us through the sewing project instructing us as we sewed and answered all our questions. She was very friendly, professional and make the experience fun. I now have a beginners knowledge of sewing techniques. I look forward to taking another class with her.

The class was awesome! Just long enough to learn the basics and just short enough to not be exhausting after a day of work! It was great!

As always... great class.

The instructor was very knowledgeable, patient, and fun. She made it easy for a first timer. Thoroughly enjoyed the class and plan on taking more with her.

The title of this class says it all, "Simple Hemming ." Don't know what it is about Tish (Instructor.) When she explains the techniques, I just get it. That says a lot because sometimes I just can't visualize some things, you know? For example, I have watched 998 YouTube videos on Binding & Piping; Brain:Jelly. So I took the HISS class...on Binding & Piping. I was so... happy, energetic, just giddy & felt so accomplished (Yes, sewing makes me this emotional!) Love HISS!

Very fun! I have barely used a sewing machine before but Tish made it really easy to learn.

I finally learned how to install a zipper! Instructor explained things so simple. No this, that, confusion, just straight & easy!

Love this teacher. Class was extremely informative, I've taken other pattern adjusting classes in the past, this class explains it all & notes included. I'm very pleased with the class content. I am already registered to other classes & hope to complete all the curriculum.

Extremely thorough. Teacher is sweetness, very patient, warm happy personality. Tish really made me feel comfortable. Can't wait till the next class.

I found sewing to be very intimidating and this was an extremely accessible class. The space was great and my instructor Tish was extremely patient and encouraging. I tend to get frustrated when learning something new and she made me feel comfortable to ask questions instead of feeling embarrassed to ask something simple. Felt totally accomplished at the finish and looking forward to taking more classes!

It was great! I ended up being the only student so I received a one-on-one class. I really enjoyed the history of the zipper along with the different kinds of zipper. They seem much less intimidating now! My teacher was patient and fun.

Excellent, excellent way to update my vintage skills. Tish was a very good instructor and ran a well paced class. I caught a few nuggets that I did not know before. We got so much done in one hour. I will be signing up for her sewing machine skills class next.

Great class! The presentation was clear and flowed very well. I learned so much.

We went over very basic things but they were very helpful. There was a nice presentation and some hands-on practice.

Really enjoyed the class! The small class size ensured lots of individual attention. The instructor was patient and clearly had put a lot of time into class prep, which kept the class running smoothly. I would definitely take another class from this instructor.

Tish was great! The class was focused, well presented and we walked away with lots of knowledge of sewing. I'm definitely interested in taking more sewing classes and actually dusting off my sewing machine at home.

Great beginners course!

This series was really fabulous. I went from knowing virtually nothing about sewing, to having confidence to try a variety of projects. Each class is focused on one aspect of sewing which makes learning how to sew less intimidating. Tish is always prepared with materials and presentations for each class. And she knows what she's talking about! She has years of experience and had so many helpful tips that are really beneficial to a newbie. Take this series - you'll learn a ton!
