“I came to CHF as the person not knowing anything about window treatments. The knowledge I learned was amazing in just two weeks, not only was the instruction excelent, but what was better was all the students worked together in helping each other. I recommend CHF to anyone wanting to go into Window Treatments. I look forward to my next class!”

“I cannot even begin to tell you how fantastic my experience was…  There is a saying, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!”  Sorry but that statement needs to be stricken from the books.  I have been sewing and fabricating since I was a kid in high school.  Needless to say at my age, that was way many years ago!  I just others who think they have already learned everything there is to know, need to take the time to take advantage of the academy and it’s education, and experienced, updated instructors.  I will be every grateful to Susan (Schurz) and Donna (Skufis) for the rest of my life!!! They are to be commended for their ability.  I had the advantage of taking the entire 104 course with Susan and Donna was wonderful to allow me to come in on the end of her course just to learn hobbled and other delightful roman shades.”

“I absolutely love it! It is very straightforward and extremely detail-oriented. I love how you show different options for fabricating components of the same treatment. It makes it very clear that you can still get the same result if you do not have all of the fancy equipment. It is a fabulous site and I am anxiously awaiting the next class!”
