Thanks. I have sewed for YEARS, but I learned some new ideas. Loved the seamstress… she was so adorable.
Love the tutorial on denim. I never know about the jean jig or the idea of using the point turner to level the presser foot when going over bulky denim seams. Cannot wait to try this. Thank you!!
I’m so glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
