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! ;)
