08/14/24 This is a wonderful service to the community, Debra!! I have been really enjoying your videos and find them very clear and inspirational reference material. Thank you!
Deborah, if you are still up to sharing, I’d love if you would continue the series even if it were once a month. Thanks for the inspiration and gift. You do amazing art.
Interested to know what sewing machine you are using as it looks like a Brother. This artistry you used a different presser foot to the ‘O’ foot. Is there a preference?
My friend sent me this to help me get the hole out of a jacket that had a button pin in the sleeve for over a year. Unfortunately I don’t know that I have an iron. But this was an enjoyable watch nonetheless.
You are an amazingly talented artist and I am so thankful the You Tube path I took today led me to you. These tutorials are truly inspiring and I shall have huge pleasure trying, in the first instance, to produce some chiffon-encapsulated leaves. You make everything look so easy! Life has taught me the simplest art is unfailingly complex and generally the most difficult to create. I have not one iota of the talent you possess but your work here and on-line has taught me the most important thing is to enjoy one's art. Thanks to you dear Deborah, I know I am in for countless hours of fun and enjoyment and, who knows, maybe a modicum of success too. Bless you dear lady, I am so grateful. Marion, North Somerset, UK.
thank you, I feel that I can make a confident start now and forget about the tangled mess I just made by simply having a go after watching it on you tube . Mary.
Thanks for sharing. I’m a beginner and the back is knotting so badly the needle and bobbin won’t move !! Is this tension or something else please? I’d be grateful for any advice Thanks. Karen
I especially thank you for showing us your very first projects, which "weren't that good". That REALLY helped me, because I am such a horrible perfectionist that I have a hard time getting started!! Your show and tell, truly, was inspiring for me. Your instructions were FAB also. Going to buy your book now!!
This definitely helped me understand the rule of thirds. I can look at my phone pics with a better understanding. Thank you so much. I'm enjoying all your videos.
Deborah, I discovered the video of the ancient jars a few years ago, but in the last few days have been binge watching a lot of your content and reviewed the website. Will contact you directly on your website as I have a question regarding your machine. Thanks for sharing your gift of the arts.
Sooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful!!!! It looks so easy on you!!! Some machine are not very easy to work with free motion... But I will keep practicing!! Love your tutorial! Thank you!!
