I am thrilled to find such high quality free videos on the Threads web site. I am presantly saving money to afford a subscription, but the fact that you also provide this service for those of us who can't yet subscribe touches my heart. Every time sew I remember my Daddy smiling at me with such pride. As my skills get better I see his smile again in my mind and all my problems melt away. He has been gone a long time but it sure feels good to see his smile again! Thank's again from my heart.
