Customer Comments - JM from California:
Anyone remotely interested in sewing will benefit from this complete sewing course! Those with sewing experience will learn many new tricks, too. Glenda instructs as she would in a classroom, looking right into the camera as though she's speaking directly to you. She keeps the topic interesting while providing a well organized lesson. The close-up views are excellent, showing the viewer exactly how each task is being performed and how to follow through with the lesson at hand. The amount of information packed into this 4 DVD set is almost overwhelming. Fortunately, the course is divided into separate lessons that are easily accessible on their own for review. And review you will, increasing your sewing knowledge and skill. Sure Fit Designs has changed the way I look at clothing! Everywhere I go I find myself mentally taking apart seams, darts, sleeves and collars, figuring out how they were constructed. I highly recommend this course!!
