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.
