Updating a bit, I did finish off the red/black tuck tunic that I was using at the seminar to demo seaming. I'm calling it Tennessee Tunic. Love it!
Back at the seminar in Pigeon Forge, near the end of the day, I was preparing for the big finale and demo-ing these fabulous buttonholes in a chain-stitch edge front band, like for a cardigan, and as Murphy would have it, just before the most significant part, every thing fell off the machine. There wasn’t enough time to re-do it and I’ve felt bad ever since. Here’s another ‘never’ for me - a video! I hate the sound of my own voice and always said no, won’t happen. Anyway, son, Derek, lent his hand-held camera; grandson, Nate, came over to operate it and we put this video together. He also took care of the technical bits like editing and getting it to a place where I could send you the link. Hope you appreciate it! Sorry about the few frames of the back of my hand and arm in the way, but I think Nate did an amazing job, despite not knowing what the heck I was doing! We had fun, though I assured him this is not the start of a new career for me! Then he took it home and stitched it together, making about 15 minutes of what was missed from the seminar. The video starts after row 5 of the buttonhole band.
For those who weren’t there, I’ve given you the link here to a pdf of my handout :

- I would recommend that you print it out, read it over and then watch
the video - don’t forget your popcorn!
