Enjoyed the class!

I took Amelia’s group class last week. Did I ever enjoy Amelia’s sincerity, thoroughness, preparedness and sense of humor! You could’ve heard a pin or fiber drop as we the class listened. I’m watching the recording in bits now, and just have had relaxing times at my Amazing and Beautiful Hansen minispinner—finally, after a whirlwind baby year and now toddler year three months short of a full year of wonder. I’m a more relaxed grandmother with spinning in my toolbox!! Thank you, Amelia, for sharing your knowledge and inspiring us with your teaching!

What a delight!

Good morning! Wanted to let you know what a delight the spinning workshop with Amelia was. She demonstrated techniques in spinning, caring for the spinner, changing out parts as well as answered questions. Of course someone else’s question usually answers your own too. Thank you again for setting this up, Amelia was a joy. Looking forward to more classes in the future.

Excellent!

On Saturday I had an hour on-line session with Amelia, and it was excellent! She is warm and very knowledgeable, not only about spinning, but other related crafts as well. All of my questions were answered and she also saved me a lot of grief. One of the ways I want to use my homespun is braiding. I’ve been doing Kumihimo for a while and thought it would be great to make braids with my own spun silk. Amelia pointed out that when the yarn is on a bobbin, hanging down, it will spin, and the twist will go away. I was amazed that I hadn’t thought of that before. She then told me of a good way to prevent that from happening. In that hour I learned more than what I was expecting. The hour passed quickly, and fortunately she recorded it so I won’t forget anything. I heartily recommend her as a teacher. She is a lovely person and is easily understood. Thank you setting this up.

FANTASTIC!

Just to let you know that I finished Amelia's spinning class a few minutes ago -- and it was FANTASTIC. She is a natural teacher, as I'm sure you know (or you wouldn't have offered these classes). She covered all of the topics and questions we had, and although I've been spinning for quite a long time, I learned many wonderful tips that no other teacher ever thought to mention. Thanks to you for arranging to have Amelia teach -- and a huge bouquet to her!

Two thumbs up!

I wanted to take a moment to say "Thank you" for the eSpinner class. I was one of the very lucky people to take the class with Amelia today. My review is simple: two-thumbs up. If I had more thumbs, I'd give more thumbs-up. The material was exactly what I wanted to hear about. I learned new things about twist, a nifty new way of attaching leader, why I was having a problem spinning a very poorly carded roving, a terrific new way of doing a join, and that the foot pedal really won't wear out if I use it. The tips about balancing speed and tension are very helpful. I appreciate the tag-team approach that you and Amelia either planned or it evolved. Thank you for helping me with the take-up issue I was having. Resolving it was a confidence builder. Amelia's teaching style is warm and welcoming and power-packed. I am looking forward to taking more classes from her, hopefully someday in person. To anyone considering taking the class, you are in for a treat! To anyone on the fence about a Hansen's eSpinner, do it; you are in for a treat! Thank you again.
