    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.

    Hi just stumbled on your channel. I am a self taught sewer with help from RUclips 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.

    I have had my machine for some years now. I wanted it to make my own clothes as i am 6'2 and found it difficult to find clothes in the store. 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
