Sewing it
Awesome class. I feel confident that I will be able to tackle all of my sewing projects I have planned because of the course. The course was easy to follow and well versed. My sewing machine isn’t as detailed as Margaret’s, but it gave me insight in what to look for when I decide to upgrade.
Great Basics Review
This course is fantastic for a new beginner or review of basic sewing techniques. Margaret is clear, efficient, and thorough with her explanations and is easy to follow along. Thank you so much for your course!
Simply Awesome
I took a sewing class in middle school and needed a refresher. This course covered a ton of information. The section about seams, stay stitching, baste stitching, and easing were great. Definitely worth the time. She used some really cool tools and showed the proper way to use interfacing. Can’t say enough about it.
Perfect start for someone who wants to learn to sew.
I’ve been sewing for many years but I’m always trying to learn new tricks or tips. I didn’t learn anything new but I was very impressed with the quality of this course. I also like that there are 3 projects in this course and they are all perfect for beginner level.
GREETINGS AND BLESSINGS... FROM THE AMERICA'S HEART!!! EL SALVADOR!!!
THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS GIVEN IN THIS COURSE… GREAT JOB!!!
