    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.

I REFER people to other Sewists who are TAILORS or Sew what I cannot or don’t have BEST MACHINES! I am NOT WORRIED about Competition! What ALLAAH has for ME , IT WILL COME!
    I REFUSE to become CUT THROAT!
    Wear WHATEVER outside! LET OTHER Newbies see you are TRYING !
    There are MENTAL DOWN TIMES & DOUBT, but DO not GIVE UP ! That is my WEAKNESS !
