Testimonials
“I have recently sampled the Level 1 DVD pattern no. 3456 and the Getting Started DVD I found them both to be excellent! I am a learner sewer and could understand everything clearly, it was so easy to follow. I especially enjoyed the ‘Getting Started’ DVD and felt that was well worth having. All the hints and tips and the instructions were fantastic. I would definitely look out for patterns with the DVD available in future.”

“I don’t understand anything to do with sewing but upon watching the ‘You Can Sew DVD’ I found I learnt a lot within the first five minutes of watching it. This is a brilliant product, it’s so easy to understand and follow that I’m sure it will change the way that people want to learn how to sew in future”. I just love it!

“This product is brilliant! It’s Easy to follow, gives clear instructions with a nice soothing voice to listen to. I recommend this product to anyone wanting to learn to sew!”
Tania Cooper, Auckland, NZ
“Thanks so much for sharing this great product with me, Ingrid! This is such a wonderful idea and so useful for someone like me who has absolutely no experience with creating my own garments. It’ll be a perfect accompaniment to any Kwik Sew pattern on the market, for sure! So a big WELL DONE to you and your excellent seamstress (although I think your talented hands were in there as much as hers?). Congratulations on putting together such a fantastic product!!”
Lesley Paton, Auckland NZ
“Instead of buying a Bernina Sewing Machine to learn to sew on we bought a ‘Brother’ Sewing Machine because that is what is used in the DVD. I can’t wait to learn how to sew and the Getting Started DVD is perfect for me”.
