    Well worth the watch. I typically don't watch 40+ minutes videos on sewing, but this 40 minute video taught me more than the years my mother spent teaching me (sorry mom). I feel like I've just stepped out a university class after watching this video. His advice is really solid, I had flimsy wooden embroidery hoop in my amazon cart and after watching this I realize I will need something stronger.

    "Right away - without practicing" Very wise precautionary words. And like driving - it takes practice and the ability to see what is ahead of you. (14:Min), Thanks for helping all of us on our various levels of experience and journeys. At 60+ I can agree 100% , practice is essential.

    i've been waiting for YEARS for instruction on embroidery using a 'regular' sewing machine. i want complete control in order to express my original designs. Christopher Nejman's teaching techniques are truly excellent as he combines great design examples with CLEAR language about what he is doing step by step. I can't wait to see ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS Christopher because they are not the usual "crafty" cheap looking ( disposable) stuff. Apologies to crafters, but executing your own precious work is a different matter.

    Well, as a florist I can appreciate the passion you have for what you are doing. I have that passion for weddings. Due to the economy being the way it is there are not many jobs out in my field and my 2nd passion always has been sewing and knitting. So this is what I am doing now. The flowers with the "fuzzies" are the Dandelions. I love your videos and I am going to build a worktable around my sewing machine. Your videos are great. I bet your wife loves what you do.

Even the sounds he said to listen to was very key to my fast progress. What got me hooked was when he mentioned in other countries they use really old singers. I looked right over at my 1893 singer in the treadle base and said to myself, ok I will try this!! I tried and watched the video again and picked up more tips that I forgot.

    hi Christopher Great idea on the extension table. I just recently stumbled on your youtube videos. I really enjoy your tutorials. I thought i would offer One little trick when cutting out the material to prevent it from chipping. If you place painters tape or masking tape works too on the material in the area you will be cutting and then draw your lines along the tape; when cutting through the tape and material it will keep it from chipping the top of the melamine as the jigsaw slices through the material. Little trick i had see when working in the construction industry, plumbers and cabinet persons use it all the time when cutting out counter tops for sinks or other appliances to prevent the top from chipping.
