"Lesson 2 was a delight! Dianne Seidel is a fantastic teacher...she knew just when to help and just when to have her student give it another hearty try. I came home all charged up and ready o live at my new machine. The next project on my agenda is going to be seats and pillows for our front porch furniture! I'm definitely going to come back to get the ticking in green and tan for the seats and then do throw pillows with innumerable amount of decorative stitching. Thanks for a wonderful "reintroduction" to my Husqvarna Viking sewing machine!"

"I would like to thank you again for all classes you have taught about how to use my Husqvarna machine for sewing and embroidery. I have learned so much, and you have made it fun. Additionally, the Stony Brook team has been marvelous to work with. I'm really impressed with the business you and Howard have put together. Good product offerings are one thing -- having a super team makes it all great. Though I am moving to Maryland, I expect that I will keep my business with Stony Brook."

"Having a Bernina Serger sitting in my storage closet for years, I decided to take the Serger class at Stony Brook Hamilton with instructor Elizabeth to finally learn how to use my machine properly (the place I originally purchased it never offered classes). By the end of the first class I could see myself updating to a newer computerized machine and decided to buy a Viking Huskystar 910 Serger before the second class. I'm glad I did! It made it so easy to reset the machine for new stitches and make my first project. Elizabeth's expertise gave me not only tips on threading and quick basic training of my Serger capabilities, but showed me many endless projects that can be made from a Serger. I look forward to taking more fun classes and push my creativity limits. Stony Brook certainly made a difference!"

I was very impressed, my husband and I have been treated excellently and I now would not think of going any where else. Everyone in the store is very patient and understanding. Thank you for your continued excellence. "

"I was so excited about the Florinia Event that you were hosting, I was having so much trouble with my designs I didn't know what to do. As things went on in the seminar I had tears, they explained so much that I began to understand a lot more and felt confident that could do it. My brother also owns a sewing machine and would like to trade up to the Designer SE."
