I agree with you. A person keeps coming to watch her. And she makes learning to something a lot of. She is my favorite instructor.

I really like knits and stretch to wear, but have not had a lot of luck working with them. I really like your channel and am hoping that you do more how to videos of tops with these materials. I have been sewing all my life but stick to cottons

I got my order today. I was excited about it.
