Average Review:
gathering foot eye-opener
I thought the class was very informative. I think the gathering foot is very under utilized. I can see making Barbie clothes especially useful when having gathered and non-gathered materials meeting. Also American Girl clothes. I will try this for sure. Thank you for the class!
Idea for building on this class (You're Welcome) :-D
Great basic information for the very beginning machine sewer. If the major manufacturers were really smart, they'd sponsor someone to make a version of this for craftsy based on their specific machine(s).
Much more likely to sign up for a craftsy tutorial I can keep accessing than to go to a one-off class in store, especially if I can target precisely the level and subject I need. Craftsy, I hope you make a mint with it!
Now I know
what those extra feet are. Very informative and hands on approach. great patience with each and every example of what the foot is used for.
Great Info
Not exactly A to Z because it doesn't cover all feet, however it does cover the feet you had questions about (especially if your sewing machine came with a variety of feet - like mine did). You will find all the info here and demonstrations to give you inspiration to do more with your machine. If you don't have these feet, I imagine you will be ordering some! The gravy is that it was free.
Informative
This was a really good class. The review and demo for the different feet was so helpful!
