Sewing tips galore~Threads on your computer! September 6, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Just received this DVD, I would have given it 5 stars if there were more than 50 articles included. For the price ($49.99) I would say "fill up the DVD" with as many articles as Taunton Press could fit! Oh well, that aside, this is a great help to sewing Goddesses, pattern makers, costume designers, and at home weekend tik-tik sewers.
I like the "run from DVD" option, as I don't need to load another 355 MB of stuff on my hard drive. I also kind of wish you could view the articles on your tv, with your home stereo DVD player, so you can reference some techinques while you are actually sewing.
If you love "Threads" magazine, as I do, and don't have all the past years of cool articles, this is a great purchase, and I think you will enjoy it. I have about 100 issues, but I save them all, as each issue is really useful and informative. This has a nice "search DVD" feature, which allows you to look up "interfacing", or "waistbands", etc. and get relevant articles to look at, that are on the DVD.
I will buy Threads Best of II, if and when that comes out, so I give Volume I the thumbs up, for good info, and easy access to it!
