Testimonials

Amazing Teacher

You have helped me so much in becoming a more confident quilter. Breaking it down the way you do is what so many of us need. You answer the questions I have that are rolling around in my head, but am too embarrassed to ask.

Clever Teacher

I have learned so much from Julia over the past many years.

Most Helpful Quilting Information

THANK YOU! It was one of those days when the thread broke constantly so I decided to pack it up for the day and try again tomorrow. After I watched your video, I went back to my machine and adjusted the presser foot so it was lower (I have the same Janome quilting foot) and then sat there and happily quilted for 45 minutes with zero breakage and quite honestly, the overall look of the quilting looks better! Thank you so much - you don't know what you don't know and when I think about it, no one ever talks about the proper height of the presser foot! I can't thank you enough!

Direct & Clear Instruction

Kim, what's nice about your tutorials is that when the quilter/sewer wants quick, precise instructions, we tend to want the NOW! --we're in the middle of something and want to get back! You are the instructor to turn to--because of your direct, clear-cut--and pedagogical methodology! Thank you!
