oldpeacock writes: I am learning to sew late in life and teaching myself with the help of others through available reference material. Sadly, I could have had the best teacher, as my mother was an artist with a needle and won awards as a young woman, but I am learning after I lost her.

I have read several of Louis Cutting's articles and find great value in her expertise. I wish she was right next door so she could 'hold my hand' and guide me as I learn. I use my seam ripper as much as my machine and have learned to enjoy the process of learning to sew as much as the finished product.

I would appreciate her guidance in the DVD's as an always available teacher.

Ladybugger1065 writes: First off , Thank You to Threads Magazine! I have never read a magazine that I learned so much from and extremely enjoyed it also!!! I am in the process of collecting every issue from day one....... I recently found out that my very active life that I was living would come to a complete end if I did not have spinal cord surgery.... So I had the surgery and ended up having to have another four months later, which did not turn out well so during my year of recovery that I spent in bed I taught myself to hand sew and made a quilt, now not able to work no longer I have started sewing! I would love to take classes but the funds are just not available. I Love garment sewing and have been teaching myself, thru Threads Magazine and lots of sewing books from the library I am doing pretty good , so these DVD's would be so very helpful and greatly Appreciated! Thank You so much for the opportunity to win and hopefully own and cherish them! Sincerely Cheryl Henderson

AdinaC writes: I would love to have the DVD set. I have been teaching myself to sew and although I have gotten pretty good at home decor, I cannot seem to make my homemade clothes fit correctly (and I am using a dress form). I don't have a family member or friend to teach me or to give me advice. There are no classes where I live for apparel (only quilting) and the one class I found which is over an hour away is for kids only (I am over 40).... too embarrassing to contemplate! I have a couple of books, but I do not always understand what I am reading. It is better for me to see what I am supposed to do. I did watch a video by a clothes designer on how to make a scarf and my scarf came out perfectly, but it doesn't make my shirts fit. I would really love the chance to receive this DVD set. I'm not ready to give up on making my own clothes. Thank you.

belindalee writes: I would watch the whole set from end to end, because with sewing, you just don't know what you don't know.

For example, I have had a mystery foot in my sewing box for years, okay decades. I happened upon a video of someone using it - the narrow hemmer foot, so I came to Threads to get the facts on how to REALLY use it. Now it's part of my regular arsenal. I can only dream about what new tricks I might learn from Louise's DVDs!

I came to the conclusion that I don't know nearly enough about garment contruction as I really need, and all the local classes available require me to quit my job to attend (and somehow that seems a bit drastic, you know?), so I am thinking THIS would be the next best thing, perhaps even better as it would allow me to replay the information over and over and over again! (slow learner?)

FionaC writes: I LOVE the way Louise Cutting teaches. Her methods are straight forward, they are easy to understand (especially with the video)and she takes all the angst out of trying new procedures. Since watching her session on uneven mitred corners I ALWAYS use them on my shirts and jackets. As a result my corners are much cleaner and the garments look very professional (to my unbiased eye at least!!!).

I can't wait to try the resizing technique for tops which I recently watched "inside". I would love to own all 4 DVD's so I can incorporate even more of Louise's wisdom into my sewing.

Thank you Louise!

Sharenda writes: Like several others who have posted here, I am rediscovering the joy of sewing (after about 20 years) and could really use a comprehensive guide. Currently my sewing library consists of the Burda Sewing Handbook, a Threads magazine subscription, Threads online, and a few select sewing magazines that I find from time to time at Barnes & Nobel. Unfortunately, I seem to be getting these magazines in the middle of various 5- to 8-part series articles on some of the basics with which I need help. This DVD series would certainly fill in the gaps.

judithsj writes: I admire Louise Cutting. She spoke to the Grand Rapids Chapter of the American Sewing Guild twice. I would like to review her techniques, so that I may incorporate them into my sewing projects. View on a CD is more effective than reading the material in a book. I would also use it as a teaching and review method for member of the sewing guild.

I could probably use this more than most current sewists because I am returning to sewing after a long absence and have forgotten how to do many of the techniques I had faced without fear. Now not feeling so much confidence and would really like to learn again -- but do it *much better* this time. Perhaps I've grown more discerning now and couldn't be proud of anything I did not handle with authority.

user-1079708 writes: Winning this set would be a second chance. I love to sew, but would like to know how the fashion world creates. When I was deciding what to be in high school... dinosaurs walked the earth... I wanted to be a fashion designer. Instead, I let my parents talk me out of going away to school and went to work in customer service. So now, all these years later, whenever I get a time away from work, you can find me in my sewing nook. I'd love to be able to sew great fashion, even if it is only for me to wear.

Grandmagwen writes: It would be so great to have these DVD's as I am 65 and disabled. I am unemployable but I can sew and I am going to try to make a living by sewing for others. I know all the basics of sewing but need help with custom fitting, alterations, and the tricks of the trade. I have a fairly new Brother Embroidery sewing machine along with the desire, excitement, and the sticktoitiveness to get it done. Either way, I will be studying and sewing until I get it right.
Thank you so much for this offer,
Gwen

skooze48 writes: I recently started my own alteration company and I do a lot of work with thee only high school drama club. I basically sew the costumes for $5 an hour. I consider it my part in giving back to the community, plus I love to watch the plays put on. I used to work for a boutique consignment shop where ladies would purchase an item if it could be taken in here or hemmed. I soon had my machine at the shop, and during my breaks I would alter their garments. After the consignment shop sold, I started doing alterations at home. Since I became permanently disabled with RSD, a neurological disorder, I sew when I am able to. I've always been striving to learn new techniques. The money I make from my work goes right back into my business buying notions, books, and machines. I recently switched bedrooms, and now my studio is in the master bedroom, to accommodate my 8' by 4' press and cut table. Living on an island my business is finally taking off do to word of mouth and my community service. Since I have good days and bad days, the bad days I spend reading and research, and would love to add this set to my collection.

Also, I totally appreciate Louise Cutting's way of explaining sewing techniques with concise and clear instructions. I like the way she shares techniques she has learned through trial and error. She has been sewing for a long time and has a lot of experience to share.

My brain doesn't work the way it used to. Sewing has been a passion of mine for a long time. Right now I sew simple things because I can't sort out all the steps of more difficult projects. I want to sew a collar onto a blouse and get beautiful results. I want to do a lapel on a jacket and tailor the jacket to fit. I want to learn how to work with bust darts because I can't purchase a T shirt that fits. Owning Louise's videos would allow me to watch over and over until I was able to do it myself. Louise is a star seamstress. Her instruction is so complete. She makes it look easy. It would be so wonderful for me to sew something and have someone ask me where I purchased it and be able to answer "I made it".

I've sewn for over 50 years and the knowledge is still there ... getting my hands to follow the head will take a bit of doing. Have most of Louise's patterns and can't wait to get started. Reading directions is one thing, but SEEING the directions brings the technique alive. I've sewn for my kids, my grandkids and church. This time the sewing focus will be on me and my husband. There are new fabrics out there, new products like the interfacings & adhesives. There are new techniques designed for these new fabrics - I need to learn them all again. I'd love a set of Louise's videos to help me do that. Pops doesn't know it yet, but there's also a new sewing machine in my near future too!!!

I have seen her patterns and work at her internet site www.thesewingplace.com
She's inspirational!

Simsal writes: Chei!!! I will cry blood if I miss this opportunity! I made up my mind to be a sewer and in less two weeks when I was giving the privilege as an Insider to watch all of these videos, then, I sew like a pro. I have watched "teach to sew" season 1&2. All these giveaway videos. In fact, I didn't regret it at all. Am a Nigeria graduate of Geography who have great passion for sewing but don't know where to start. But threads magazine has helped to bring out the dream in me in less two weeks as an Insider. Am not teasing but am just saying I know the value of these DVDs. Imagine what it will be like to have all of these in my library! Indeed, I would be delighted if I have them. Otherwise, P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C if I don't have them.

user-1144885 writes: I have watched these dvds and think they are great. I stopped sewing for about ten years for some reason unknown to me now. I now realize how much I missed it. I had to teach myself to sew. My mom was a wonderful seamstress but I wasn't interested in my teens when she tried to teach me. I thought I would always be able to learn from her later but I lost her when I was only 25 years old. I went to work in a bank when I was 26 and they wanted me to dress nice but the pay wasn't enough to do that so I taught myself to sew. I am now 66 years old and still have so much to learn.

I would so love to have these dvds to refer to for the answers to my many questions. I am now retired and my sewing has become so much a part of my life. I want to learn to do it the best that I can.

Thanks for taking the time to read my comment.

It's one thing to read about a technique, but much better when you see it done. Kind of like the concept "A picture is worth a thousand words. . ." Thanks for this Give Away opportunity.

onyx107 writes: When I think of Ms. Louise Cutting, I think of sewing poetic genius. This young lady makes even the most difficult reasoning of sewing anything and I mean anything from wool to silk and everything in between using techniques that I wouldn't put together. It's been ten years since I've sewn anything and I know Ms. Cutting's help would be greatly needed and appreciated by myself.

I've had the distinct pleasure of snooping (using one of her phrases) her first DVD. Slow down, I've watched her presentations here on the Threads website. I happen to truly love Threads Magazine and I've joined "Threads Insider." Now, that's where I found Louise and her wisdom and knowledge. I would feel very blessed to receive Ms. Cutting's wonderful DVDs. She has a great way of looking at garments from the inside first.
