Finished projects from the IQ/MDC Retreat. I knew we had awesome machines but what I learned during these 4 days has put my creativity into overdrive. Salima your instructions both written and live are excellent. We had a wonderful group in attendance, so much support and collegiality! Hope we can meet in person one day. Thank you again Salima for the opportunities and challenges you afford us to grow and learn.

Salima, You have the best written instructions for each month's class, wonderful. It makes it so much easier to follow along with your on-line lesson and to work alone to re-do the design!! I really enjoyed your class yesterday and feel like I am learning something new each time! Thank you so much for your classes and your patience!!

Every class and retreat you offer is worth every penny. From the absolutely complete kits provided to the expert instruction, this is a complete experience. The knowledge I have gained from Salima Jaffer is immeasurable and invaluable. These courses have mixed fun with education and skill-building with confidence.

I learn best by doing(making projects). Because Salima is live on Zoom, questions are answered immediately. There are so many techniques used, My Design Center (digitizing), Scan n Cut and more. Great learning and FUN!

I love taking Salima's retreats. I've been sewing and embroidering most of my life and I still learn something new each time! The classes are fun, well paced and our projects are finished at the end! No UFO's added to my sewing room! Added bonus is everyone is so friendly and kind.

Salima is an amazing teacher, patient and knowledgeable. At first glance the project looks pretty straight forward but there are so many techniques incorporated in each, that it just builds your skills so that you have a lot of AHA! moments. If you want to learn more about our amazing machines and how creative we can be, take a class from Salima!

This was a very well paced class and the written instructions were excellent. Writing instructions to reach a wide audience is difficult and these instructions will be something that I can use over again for many projects. I'd heard that it was not possible to use a Baby Lock machine with the Scan N Cut machine for applique and this retreat proved that it is entirely possible as well as easy to do.

This retreat was fabulous! Salima is very thorough, patient, and a wonderful instructor. I have taken several of her classes and have learned so much from each one. She is so creative and has great projects. I am definitely looking forward to more classes and retreats in the future.
