Dear Chris,
With more than 30 years under my belt as a home sewer, college
coursework in custom sewing and design, and a recent career shift to sewing professionally, I didn't
believe that purchasing a video on pillow making could possibly teach me anything! After all,
I'd made countless pillows! On the recommendation of a colleague, I purchased your first two videos
and cannot begin to tell you what a difference they made in my techniques and finished
product! Your tried and true techniques and tricks of the trade have not only improved my
productivity, but have been inspirational. I now own all of your current video
selection. No book, commercial pattern, or other instruction has given me this level of
knowledge and confidence.
Thank you! I'm looking forward to your next video. |

| Dear Chris,
I'd like to let you know how valuable
your pillow training videos have become to me. I've a home based embroidery business, but I
have also been a seamstress for the past 30 years. About 6 months ago I was approached by an
interior decorator who asked me if I would be interested in constructing designer pillows for
her. Having never done anything like that before I was of course skeptical but I told myself I
could do it. This particular designer gave me your first video "The Basics", and
after viewing it a few times, I was on my way to a new career. Installing a zipper and adding
covered cording became a breeze.
Later I purchased your second video "Separating Details",
and I can't even begin to tell you how much I've learned. I've become a pro at splicing
braided cording and although flange pillows are still not my favorite, they have become a lot easier
because of your instruction (especially the compounded flange shams!) In 6 months I've made
close to 250 pillows; in all shapes and styles. Decorators tell me how impressed they are with
the quality of workmanship that I turn out. I'll take some credit but a lot I owe to you for
your expertise and training. I look forward to your next video with much anticipation please
do another one soon! |

| Dear Chris,
Just wanted to let you know what a
great educational resource your pillow tapes are. You give a wonderful presentation of the
many different pillow styles, and the "details" you teach transform an ordinary pillow
into a custom, high-end product. The cording techniques are especially quick and professional
looking, and zippers are easy, with accurate placement every time.
You've taken away the "learning curve" with these
tapes. When I need to do a certain type of pillow I can quickly review that portion of the
video, start the pillow, and know exactly what steps to take, in their correct order.
You have made pillow making a "no brainer". I'm
looking forward to your pillow tape #3. |

| Dear Chris,
Congratulations on two fine videos on
the construction of decorative pillows. Although I have been in the window covering business
for many years, pillows are a new fabrication project for me. How lucky I am to benefit from
your years of experience and special knowledge on the subject.
The videos are so well done-step by step and covering all those
"little" details that make the difference between professional and homemade. I like
the format because it enables me to repeat and repeat those portions that are more involved.
Your approach is all professional and the sneak peaks at your workroom are fun, too! I look forward
to all the future videos and you can put me down as an automatic purchase! |
