Karen,
Your YouTube tutorial for making weltcord is wonderful! It was so easy! I've always avoided adding weltcord to the items that I make because it was so tedious to cut out all the strips and then sew them together. Your method makes it a breeze. With one half yard of fabric I was able to make more than enough cording to make name pillows for my grandson's bedrooms. I could have skipped the cording but I think it adds so much to the finished product. I'm attaching a couple of pictures. Thank you again for your tutorial--I couldn't have done this without it. Now I'm going to add cording to just about everything I make!

Hello Karen,
I was a member of your class at the Novi Expo center in Michigan this
past fall and afterwards left with the goal of slipcovering my couch.
Your teaching skills plus the video has given me the confidence to tackle
my first project in my home.

I had such
a great time yesterday in Worcester Ma....the class was fabulous. It
is so much fun to be with people who have the same passion for everything
fabric!
I would like to order your videos...all of them!! I love the
professional look with this technique, and already have serveral pieces
I would love to cover...now just finding the time...guess the house
won't get clean this weekend!
Thanks for a great
day!

sped up my slipcover making . Thanks for making them available.

LOVE your
slipcover video. So, when will you have another video for part 2, i.e.
making cushion covers and installing zips?
Also, FYI--I
attended your two classes at the expo center in Chantilly, Virginia
this past fall. Since then, I have made 9 slipcovers for customers and
changed my business cards from "Custom Draperies" to read
"Custom Draperies and Slipcovers". I really enjoy the variety
of doing both window treatments and slipcovers. Thank you for sharing
your knowledge. You are a good teacher.

I took
your workshop in St .Petersburg Florida in September 2001. I have
finally completed the cushions for my wooden furniture. Thank
you for the instruction and the added confidence. I'm ready to make
a full set of covers now.

It was
great to read about the article that your slipcovers were in the Mary
Engelbreit's Home Companion Magazine for Dec/Jan 2001. Slipcovers
have been going great for me. I love making them and am keeping
pretty busy through a designer.

I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your class on Saturday
(August 18, 2001). I learned soooo much, and am so excited to do my
first slipcovers.

I just wanted you to know that I'm getting ready to rent some workspace.
It is because of you that I have the training and courage to do this.
You are a wonderful teacher and mentor.

Once again
your video and the photos I took in your 4 day slipcover class at the
Professional Drapery School really helped. I forgot how to stitch
in the ditch. Your method makes a wonderful side arm.

I took your slipcover class the last time your came to the Vogue Fabric
in Evanston. It was the 2nd time I had taken it. Well, I finally
made a slipcover and it turned out beautifully. It was a wing chair
with some tricky spots that were a little different for the chair you
did in class. The couch is my next project.

Thank you,
thank you, thank you!!! It was great to finally meet you. I learned
more than I thought possible from the workshop. Your technique
is so simple that even I might be able to figure it out. I will
be attempting to make one starting this weekend, so I am sure to be
in touch with you as soon as I run into problems. Of course I
have this wonderful video to watch as I'm working, so hopefully that
will pull me through the tough spots.

Your slipcover cushion class in Evanston on October 3, 2001 was excellent.
I would never attempt a slipcover without your class and your video.
About your
video ...after completing one slipcover project with your method, I
have several more projects planned for the future. Your slipcover
video is invaluable--a refresher course before each project. The
video is clear, concise and includes many professional tips. Thank
you!
