Basic Sewing

Produced by Carolyn Duncan and Narrated by Jo Strong

• Do you think your sewing machine is too old?
• Are you frustrated by tensions?
• Do you find it difficult to thread?
• Have you only ever used the straight stitch?
• Then this DVD was made for you!
   

   This "Take Home a Tutor DVD" will take you through all the steps of threading, standard seams, stretch seams, applique, overlock, blind hem stitches, and maintenance and more for your sewing machine.

  The DVD includes a variety of tips and tricks to help you use your sewing machine, so sit back, relax and enjoy and let us show you that you do not need a fancy machine.

   The machine used in this DVD is an older model Singer sewing machine.  The stitches featured in the techniques will be found on all basic mechanical sewing machines available for the last two decades.  Even if your machine only has a straight stitch and a zig zag stitch then you will still benefit from this DVD.
