Experienced tutor in Sewing in Santa Cruz, Susan offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

We had fun, she is encouraging, helpful, and kind, I took four classes. Susan taught me the needed steps to achieve success. I felt comfortable and learned a lot.

In everything Susan Raineri does, she does with excellence, attention to detail, humor, and a caring heart.

Her patience and extensive knowledge of all things quilting. I have taken hand quilting, log cabin (my favorite), crazy quilting, quilt as you go and sewing basics. With Susan's classes I have learned skills that have encouraged me to be a lifelong quilter!

Excellent! She made it fun and rewarding. Rekindled my love for fabric art!

She’s an excellent teacher and has the patience of Jobe. I know I tested it. I’ve used the quilting skills she taught me for years.

Susan taught me how to quilt many years ago and does a fabulous job of not just the basics of quilting but also color coordination, construction work and finishing with rich history. You can’t go wrong with her instruction.

Susan is very kind, patient, and has years of experience. She was able to help me complete a project even though I had absolutely no experience sewing.

I took a hand quilting class from Susan. Susan was very well prepared and was able to communicate her vast knowledge in a clear way. She was encouraging as I created a sample. Her tips were so helpful. I highly recommend Susan.

I had the privilege of taking 3 different quilting classes from Susan. She is an incredible teacher! She is very patient and explains things very well. I learned so much from her. I can’t say enough about her! She is so encouraging! Each class I learned more and more! I recommend Susan for any sewing or Knitting classes. I would not be able to make the beautiful sewing projects I do today if it wasn’t for her!
