Sandy's Quilt Shop — Local services in Joshua

A Disappointing Sewing Experience My daughter and I recently attended a quilting class at Sandy's and were incredibly disappointed with the assistant instructor. While the initial concept of the class was promising, the overall experience was marred by the assistant instructor's overbearing and know it all demeanor. Instead of fostering a positive and encouraging learning environment, the instructor spent most of the class micromanaging every student's work, often making critical comments that were both unnecessary and hurtful. The sheer number of corrections was enough to discourage anyone from continuing quilting. Instead of choosing a couple of important areas to correct, she inundated my adult daughter with critical corrections at every step, including admonishing her for asking me a question instead of her.

I just started quilting and I feel like it should always feel like a fun experience but I don’t like being talked to or treated like I’m incompetent of doing simple things. I’m not really one to write a review but this just wasn’t a good experience for me so I won’t be coming back. To the staff, please reflect on how you treat people and remember that no one is perfect and everyone is just trying to find a fun hobby to do. It’s not...
