    I have been sewing for 50+ years and I find this video enlightening, easy to understand and worth subscribing to your channel. I teach classes in my home, no more than 2 students at a time and I look for videos that will help my students and this by far is a stand out. Thank you for producing content I didn't know I needed. Thank you.

    I have been wanting to sew for years. I bought a brand new sewing machine and it has sat unused for years. Today I ran across your channel and all of a sudden I became excited. I ordered the Sewing Book today and when it arrives I will read it like a novel. I am excited and will stay tuned to your channel for guidance. Will keep you informed.

    Hi just stumbled on your channel. I am a self taught sewer with help from CZcams tutorials. I make dress, skirts and blouse, but I would love to learn how to cut by exact measurements. I have gotten many requests to sew for others, but I am not that confident to sew for others as yet. Hopefully someday 😊 glad I found your channel.

But now i have my machine, thread, some patterns however they still are not the length i need. So now i have to learn on how to i make sleeves and pants legs longer, and i suck with cutting out the fabric. Your video is helpful
