My opinion differs from the preceding one. I am not a beginning sewer. Nonetheless, I was not familiar with the seam finishing techniques shown in the videos. Consequently, I was delighted to learn about them. Thank you!!!

My first project using "A Field Guide to Fabric Design" as my reference would be to design a fabric with happy colors that I would make into a jacket that would complement numerous outfits.

James Wood's recognition that sewers would like to be able to buy a lightweight machine is excellent. At home, it is great to have a heavy, full-featured sewing machine. However, I would like to have a second lightweight sewing machine, without dials, to take to class that is no more than eight pounds. Sue has some good features. However, I am not interested in hand-cranking nor Sue. I am fine with the traditional shape of sewing machines.

Val Waltham did a lot of work in the United Kingdom to discover information that is general knowledge in the United Stated, and the BBC gave her an award. Interesting. This demonstrates that all of us can do something that will receive an award if we try.

Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed learning this technique, Susan. Thank you!

Excellent explanation, Susan. Thank you!

I love the color "Tangerine Tango." It makes me smile because it is very bright and happy. I plan to include it in a multi-colored quilt.

Fabulous, Judith! You sold me on the heat-set method of setting rhinestones, etc. I finally feel confident to try it. Thank you!!!

After a very long sewing hiatus, I started to sew again recently. I too would love to have the new "Threads Sewing Guide." It sounds fabulous, and would help me greatly.

Wonderful insights. Thank you!!!

Mondo Guerra won Project Runway 2010 in the hearts of viewers. Fire Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. They proved to viewers that their judge roles are NOT acceptable anymore.

I love Mondo's ingenuity and bright, happy clothes. Furthermore, Mondo inspires me. I hope a well-heeled fashion experts funds him. Mondo will be a big fashion name that everyone will recognize. Yeah, Mondo!!!

At Fashion Week, Gretchen showed a couple of models wearing colored UNDERWEAR on the runway. Please!!! What idiot would wear such nonsense in public! Plus, I was incredulous that Gretchen had the nerve to wear a shear skirt that emphasized her black underwear on stage. She appears to be a exhibitionist.

I am so disappointed that Michael Kors and Nina Garcia bulldozed over Heidi Klum and Jessica Simpson that I will NOT invest my time watching Project Runway ever again unless they are replaced and specific objectives are given to the contestants and the new judges honor those objectives. Of course, I still like Tim Gunn. He is a keeper.

Furthermore, forget those ridiculous shows where the contestants are required to use party supplies and hardware to make clothes. Plus, give the contestants more time at Mood. Why torture them! Designing and creating fashion should NOT be treated like boot camp. I want to see quality work – not highly pressured contestants and fast work.
