Jerri is a marvel. She helped me take my stitching from meh to magnificent. Her encyclopedic knowledge of threads, stitches and effects will blow your mind.

Jerri’s knowledge is extensive and invaluable. Whether you’re just learning basketweave or tackling a complex, detailed project, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Jerri takes the time to truly understand your canvas and your vision for the finished piece. Rather than simply telling you what to do, she guides you thoughtfully, encouraging you to explore different stitches, threads, and creative ideas. Often nudging you beyond your comfort zone in the best possible way. Her approach builds both skill and confidence.

Jerri is an incredible teacher and mentor. I began needlepoint not even knowing how to thread a needle, and through every stage, from my very first stitch to the more intricate techniques I can confidently complete today, she has been patient, encouraging, and deeply supportive.

Teaching confidence! Working with Jerri on a doodle canvas has been the best learning experience. At first the doodle canvas is a means to learn new stitches and to practice. Now I use it to audition a stitch before I put it on my finished piece. I really love it because I get to test out a stitch pattern and become more confident with the finished results.
