For future vids, I’d recommend a bit more close ups and lighting because some of your work was a bit hard to see. Luckily your verbal instructions were clear so I caught on fast. Also, a similar video on hemming suit sleeves would be a lifesaver!

Catching the one or two threads is the key! Did it with white thread and nothing came through. My wife was impressed with my work. Thanks for the informative video.
