Although Dee no longer teaches for the regional community college system, individual students are always welcome.

Private instruction can easily be tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual student. Many people chose to have a 2-hour long Refresher Session, which covers machine and supply information, along with a variety of crucial basic seam samples. Then, as students begin to sew on their own time, they come back for sessions that help them resolve any problems that they may have encountered with their initial projects. Lessons in specific areas of interest, such as pattern alteration, are also available.

Although mainly providing adult instruction, Dee will consider accepting highly-motivated young people of middle school age or higher.
