Student Reviews
Hear from our recent graduates
"The only motivation was me. I wanted to do this and to challenge myself. I had no desire to do anything with it, but for my own sense of achievement. Sometimes you should just do things so you can say 'I did that'”. Patchwork & Quilting SS2
"What an enjoyable experience I’ve had learning all the new skills for quilting with a new sewing machine in tow. Free motion sewing took many hours of practice which I managed to master eventually giving me a new skill to be creative with."

"I would recommend the School of Stitched Textiles to anyone looking to build new skills or develop existing ones. You will be well supported to succeed but also have control over the speed at which you work and the level of research you choose to explore."
Patchwork & Quilting SS2
"I would definitely recommend this course to others. Both courses have shown me that with the right guidance and support (from my family and the school), I can actually do it. And thanks to The School of Stitched Textiles, I’ve achieved more than I ever believed possible."
