Excellent! Thank you so much Helen. I watched this entire demonstration & will watch again as I make my first drum. 👍 Well done!! 💕

This was a great tutorial! You took away my fear of stitching and finishing a drum. Thanks for taking the time to explain all of the steps in a clear manner. 🥰

Thank you for this tutorial. You are very good at explaining how to finish these drums. I really appreciate that no math was involved. And also that you showed two different types of drums. Thank you again.

Helen, you are just a marvel. You’ve explained and showed it so well that I think I can do it.

thank you Helen for sharing your finishes. You give me courage and I so appreciate it.

Helen thank-you for the great tutorial on finishing, you are wonderful.

Beautiful Helen! You are a great teacher, very detailed!

Helen thanks for another great tutorial. Love the way you showed the two different types of drum to do.

Awesome tutorial!! Your explanations and exact placement of pins, hand stitching and taking the extra time to so everything was so very helpful. Some of us so best with seeing exactly what is done rather than just hearing an explanation. Kudos to you and a big thank you. You are the best.

Thank you for such an excellent tutorial Helen.❤ You make it look doable😊

Thank you for another great tutorial. You take the scary out of finishing!!

That was a fantastic tutorial! So appreciate the time you spent explaining everything. I've been wanting to tackle a drum for quite a while. You gave me the inspiration and tools I need to start. Thank you so much!

Great tutorial- thank you so much! You’ve convinced me that I need a bodkin - what a good job it does getting all that stuffing in! Your tutorials are so detailed and helpfu!

I use my bodkin all the time!

Great tutorial, it’s always good to see the process. Thanks! 🌻 Both little drums are perfect!

Thanks Helen for another interesting tutorial. I have not done a drum before, but will now give it a go following your instructions. Happy stitching 🧵

I admit I’m tired, ready for bed and having a cup of hot tea. Thought you were saying a 5” dull needle. Then you said “be careful they are sharp”. But you said a full needle. Oh! 🤦‍♀️ a doll needle! 😂 I really want to try a drum soon. Your tutorials are excellent.

OMG! I think I can do this now!!!! You made it so easy to follow. THANK YOU!

Thank you! You're a great teacher!

Helen that was an excellent tutorial! Thank you so much!

Just want to thank for demonstrating “how to make a drum”. I always learn so many tips watching you.

Your drum tutorial is wonderful! You're a great teacher too! I think I'll need to watch the video over and over before I even get the nerves to try a practice drum. I have a couple of pieces waiting and a few stand ups that need finishing. I really like how you used the interfacing as the guide for the width of the sides instead of putting the interfacing on the whole side piece like I was thinking. Great video! Thank you!!!

You can do it either way, but if the cotton fabric you chose for your sides is a forgiving design that way is a little easier to get it straight.

You inspire and promote courage!! Now to find a drum to make!!! Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing all your tips and tricks

Amazing tutorial 👏 You totally made this easy to follow - I no longer fear doing this type of finish 😊 Thank you so much .

Wonderful tutorial.

Great tutorial! I especially appreciated the things that are a little persnickety and how you handled them. Many don't explain those little glitches and people give up trying because they can't get past it.

This was fantastic, Helen! I was so nervous to ever try a drum finish but totally feel like I could do it now. Thank you so much!!

Thanks for the tutorial. I’ve never tried a drum, but this makes it possible. I will go with Pi x diameter = circumference for the measurements. Patti the math nerd
