Comments from Nova's Students
"She is a master teacher!" Deborah B.
"Out of all the classes I have taken, I learned the most here. I own 14 machines and used to work for a company that sold multiple brands and models. Nova keeps the class going. She is very organized. Good sense of humor." Georgia S.
"I've taken Featherweight maintenance classes from another teacher. Nova's class was by far the most comprehensive and informative." Jann T.
"Your class on Monday was so informative and so well-run. I'm a teacher too, and I really appreciate your no-nonsense and efficient, yet kind and thorough approach. My time and tuition were very well spent. " N. Schmidt
"I have taken a class for featherweights before and I learned much, much, much more in this class. You are so prepared and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to be here." S. Rex
"I have attended classes from some of the big names in the current Featherweight world and I really loved the personal attention that you gave each of your students. I had a plane to catch and you made sure that all my questions were answered before I had to dart out. I love that your husband "Pico" was there as well. It was nice that your time was not eaten up by having to pass out supplies etc.""Out
One of the things that I really appreciated is the way you presented your products. It was obvious that you spent a great deal of time and energy developing certain products so that our Featherweights could benefit. At other classes I have taken I have felt that I was constantly being told that I had to buy their products but the why was never explained to my satisfaction. I have also taken classes where there were no recommendations for supplies given. Your class had a better balance. You showed us a product,explained how you researched it and why you recommended it.You always told the whys and that is important to me.
Thank you again for a great class! I hope someday to be as good at teaching Featherweight maintenance as you and have the respect that you have earned." C.L.
"Thank you. You and your "TA" are a great team and your class is priceless. You have the gift of teaching and generosity. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and Featherweight passion with the world. You make the world, particularly the Featherweight world a better place!" Diane B.
"I learned even more than I expected to learn! I would highly recommend this class to anyone with a Featherweight." Wendy C.
"Best instructor / class in many years. So informative and helpful. Thanks for having helpful tools and info for sale at the class. Janice B.
"The best thing I got out of the 'other guys' class was Nova's name from the person sitting next to me." Beth B.
"You were very thorough; took time to repeat as needed, answered all our questions. You also made class fun!" Valerie A.
"Everything was presented in such a way it was easy to follow along and so enjoyable." Judy J.
"You are the best instructor I have had - I've taken many classes from California to Chicago - you are great!!" Leigh C.
"It's a mechanics, history and sewing class all in one. I couldn't believe the day had passed because I was having such a good time." Michelle P.
"I LOVED your maintenance workshop. Thank you so much for opening another class in O'Fallon." Patty T.
"The workshop I attended in Lincoln Nebraska in June was wonderful. My sister and I drove from Florida to attend. Best experience of my sewing life." Melissa B.
"Such a great Workshop!!! Queen of the Featherweight! Learned so much...highly recommend any class she gives." Dana B.
"I very much enjoyed the class! Having done corporate training for 20 years, I recognize what it takes to effectively engage, teach and respond to a class of 16 (or 60!). I think you did a super job of providing information and techniques – and time to for us to do it ourselves. I would certainly recommend this class to a friend with a Featherweight!" Laurie C.
"I was in this class, learned so much, my machine runs great now and I know how to keep it running...Nova does a fabulous job sharing her wealth of information. If you have a Featherweight - sign up for this class now..." Fran J.
"Nova,
Thank you for the wonderful Maintenance Class in Huntsville.
It was the most informative class I have attended.
Your knowledge of the Featherweight is exceptional.
Your ability as a teacher is stupendous, and I thank you for sharing.
You have a God given gift.
If I retained a fraction of the information you imparted, I will be satisfied.
I will treasure the Nova's Featherweight Maintenance Card.
Thanks again for a delightful class." Brenda
