Question 3

What level do I have to be to attend the Ambassador Event?

Accepted Answer

Telene Jeffrey is a top teacher who is able to cater for many levels of ability within each class.  The two-day workshops are suitable for any level. The three-day workshop is more advanced and assumes a knowledge of feather formation from either the two-workshop or other feathers classes or practice.   Having a variety of skill levels on a single class is also one of the reasons we restrict class sizes.  Basic knowledge of your machine is required but you will pick up hints and tips for machine usage throughout the workshops.

Question 4

What is the format for the event?

Accepted Answer

Each day will start at 9.30am and finish at 4.30pm.  There will be a mixture of theory, drawing practice and hands on stitching.    Lunch will be included on all workshop days and evening meals for the nights when attendees may stay over will be available as an optional extra.

Question 5

Will I be able to use the same machine that I own?

Accepted Answer

We will have all machines in the Handi Quilter range at the Ambassador Event, but we cannot guarantee you will be able to use the same type of machine.  For hands-on sessions, wherever possible we will try to match the machine you use to the one that you own.

Question 6

Will I have to share the machine with another person?

Accepted Answer

No you won't.  We offer one machine per user which means more time at the machine and more learning throughout the event.

Question 7
