Talk Back Thursday

Thank you so much to Trudy, Carla, Elaina, Rose, Cindy, Faye, Mary, Patsijean, Katherine, Lynne, Ivalyn, Julie and Mamafitz for talking back to my confession last week! I confessed that I haven’t watched any sewing DVDs (or tapes) and asked if others enjoyed them and had any recommendations.

On the general topic of sewing videos, there were 9 “yes!” votes and 4 “eh, not so much…” votes.

The most frequently called out series was the Palmer/Pletsch Fit for Real People series, with 4 votes.

And guess what tied for second place (3 votes each) with Nancy Zieman’s shows?

YouTube!

That caught me by surprise – you guys are much hipper than I am! (As proven by my use of the word “hip”)

The following four DVDs were each called out by two people:

Sandra Betzina’s Power Sewing Skill Series

Roberta Carr’s Couture Sewing

Claire Shaeffer’s Couture Techniques

Threads Magazine Archive

And the following DVDs were each called out once:

Threads Magazine Fitting Series

Islander Sewing System

Peggy Sagers

Cynthia Guffey

Gale Grigg Hazen

Kathleen Cheetham & Vija Anca

Kenneth King

Connie Crawford

(Note that the person who called out the Connie Crawford DVD was actually not recommending it – she felt like it was poorly produced.)

Finally, Elaina gave a shout-out to Project Runway – her favorite sewing show! ;)

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to answer! I’m going to go hit Netflix and see how many of these I can rent! ;)
