It’s a great experience but if they can fix the problem with getting into the gate would be a lot easier for me to find the door. Anyway, the teacher is professional and helps me a lot with the rug tufting. I do have a lot of fun, and the result is perfect.

I had been interested in rug tufting and thought that this class would be a good opportunity to try it out. The instructor was nice and easy to follow. Both me and my partner were happy with our finished rugs. I would recommend this class to anyone that is interested or is crafty and wanted something fun to do with a friend!
