    Thank you for all the tips. I'm still learning

  2. Cleopatra Pepple

    I really appreciate these formidable guide. I will try them in successive practices. I had always wanted a one on one tutorial on these sewing skills. Most times the timing and schedule of my job makes it unrealudtic. With these basic steps., i can try at my leisure time a few practice. It will also be appropriate if the standard way of drafting patterns for sleeves, breast cups and trousers, shirts are made very easy during these tutorials. It is also good to know the standard measurements.

    Would like to Try

    Oops, computer wiped out again! I had been a member for quite awhile but Doctor and hospital appointmens made it too difficult to juggle time that I really didnèt have. I, and probably others of my age, would really appreciate it if you could list all of the topics on your CDs so that precious time not be lost and be a real turn-off. Hopefully I will get the time to sew when my eyes become normal again. Please, please, organize your CDs so that we can enjoy your lessons. Margaret

  8. Athalie Harris

    Wow thank you so much! I first learned to sew in middle school but there are so many things that were not covered like the markings on the machine or how to select thread thank you for allowing me in your classes

    I’m an excited to see this offer. I’ve been sewing for over 40 years however; I was absent from the joy of sewing this past year due to a shoulder injury, which required surgery. I feel like I’ve lost some of my skillset. These classes will inspire and help to reeducate .

    if this is a free video why can I NOT hear the narrative? Quite discouraging.
