So much more to sew. Stitch is hugely understated by it on-road frontage. Inside it makes the TARDIS of Dr Who looks small and bare. Loads of stock materials, accessories and related paraphernalia; not silk though. The amazingly skilled staff will either know the answer or know another member of staff who does! Lessons and workshops make it fun and social. Diamond location. Well done to the team here. What to make next...

The ?beast in the corner? aka the overlocker my husband bought from Stitch for me a year ago is now my friend. I joined a one day course (10-4) to get to know my overlocker and make a T shirt. Yes I made mistakes, but you learn from them. It was terrific fun, I learned loads and now have a T shirt made entirely with an overlocker. Picked up lots of tips on the way. A big thank you to Jan and Lucy for running an excellent day ? and for the humour and endless cups of tea. I did a 2 hour introduction elsewhere last summer which barely scratched the surface by comparison. Can?t recommend highly enough.

Had a last minute request to use our elderly landrover into a bridal car. Popped into Stitch where Jan jumped in with energy, creativity, integrity and humour. Incredible customer service! This shop deserves a relaxed browse.

Stitch is a source of inspiration and a lovely place to learn to sew and have the confidence to try different projects and techniques. I really enjoyed my group sewing session to make a shift dress. Lucy was a fantastic tutor and Jan provided the laughs and encouragement. A brilliant day!

Having thoroughly enjoyed a few classes I booked a one to one sewing machine class as I knew that despite using a sewing machine for over 40 years my basic skills were a bit, shall we say, ropey ? In the end I attended with my niece who had never got to grips with a sewing machine she had had for a decade. The fabulous Jan kept us entertained and wow we learned so much. Jan ?unpicked? many of my historic very bad habits and discovered Katie had a too small bobbin and a needle in backwards. No wonder she was struggling ? It?s always a pleasure to enter the shop and all the staff are so friendly and helpful. The classes are a great way to learn some new skills too. Thank you Jan and your wonderful team!

This is not only my go to place for any sewing materials, but a great place to get ideas and advice. Jan and Mitch have endless patience, and are willing to spend time with all their customers to make sure that we know what we are doing. Terrific place to browse for everyone from dressmaking experts to complete beginners, looking for an easy craft project. Thank you for your help today, ladies, I?ll be back soon!

Thanks for a super day Lucy. You are a brilliant teacher and Stitch is a fantastic place to learn new skills and practise old ones. Love the dress I made and had a really good time making new friends. Jan - you are a star!
