Hi Jo - lovely to 'meet' you here!
The socials are for all abilities and all activities. Some join with their cameras on and some with them off.
Everyone has a chance to 'check-in' if they want to - but no pressure.
People join when they have lost their sew-jo and just want to take part in the conversation and sometimes then find themselves beginning to think about their own sewing projects again...
Some people bring their knitting, or their quilting, or embroidery projects.....
Some people bring questions - others help with possible answers.
Everyone is kind and welcoming and supportive.
I think the smallest group I've seen had 5 attendees, and the largest had 27. Once we edge towards 20 attendees we usually break out into smaller 'rooms' of 5-6 so conversation remains possible for everyone.
In my experience everyone is genuinely interested in what everyone else is doing.
Hope that helps and hope to see you on a 'sew-cial' soon!

Hi Jo, sorry I missed this before the social yesterday but Donnie did a great job of answering and was really lovely to have you join us yesterday, I hope you enjoyed the session.
We love welcoming people who are new to sewing and give lots of great advice as I think you saw yesterday. If keeping your camera off is working for you right now that's perfect, and use the chat box to get involved in any way.
If and when you want to join in a little more it's totally up to you! Hope to see you at another soon.
