Dear Valerie and Jennie
Thanks for getting the Hever show video sorted so quickly. I have just had a wonderful day at Region 2 and come home to watch it. I was unable to get to Hever last year so it was great to see the new set up.
Thank you
Just spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon looking at the Technique videos on Just Hands On TV. What a brilliant way to spend a snowy day!
Thanks you JHOTV

Dear Valerie and Jenny,
I tried so hard to get the same material as you for the block of the month but I couldn't find it anywhere. Somewhat discouraged I tried to find something similar but failed miserably. Half-heartedly I decided to try a completely different colour combination. However, by the time it came you were already onto block four and I was worried that I would be too late to join in (being a new member and unsure just how things worked). Anyway, once I got started I just couldn't stop and I thought you might like to see how it turned out. I'm really pleased with it. This is my first medallion quilt, my first Dresden plate (love it) and likely to be my first flying geese border.
Please keep up the good work - I think it is an excellent way of teaching.
Thanks very much.

Love the workshops ladies. Keep up the great work. I live in australia and find many of your ideas and product advice a big help.
Best wishes,

I really enjoy being a member. I particularly appreciate the video workshops and demonstrations. I’ve learned so much from watching them. I just started patchwork and quilting class in September and I’m really loving it. I would love to win these threads so that I can start a proper thread stash!
Thanks for a great resource.

"Its not my fault its the computer - it made me do it !" (ROFL) that's what I say about my sewing machine!
I have just finished watching the video on Free Motion Embroidery and wanted to say thank you to Jennie for the video I have tried Free Motion Quilting on my Janome with disastrous results - I could never get the needle to perform a nice smooth curve or a straight, straight line.
Now that I have watched your Free Motion Embroidery Video it explained very simply how to start - I had never thought of using 'a hole in a piece of fabric" to make a flower and so learn to control the speed and the direction of the needle. I will be making a whole garden of flowers and a football field of grass! (LOL)
I also like with both of you, your "off-beat" senses of humour. I think having a bit of humour in the video is important and yes I use the time-honoured tradition of throwing waste fabric and thread on the floor!
I think the membership fee is "very reasonable" as I find reading books just does not have the same impact as watching a video and I have learnt some valuable tips, in particular the video on "Needle and Threads" - now I always start a new project with a new needle.
I had recently finished an 8 foot by 6 foot Rag Quilt made up of 8" squares (made without a middle layer) of flannel and could not work out why it was so difficult to sew through 4 layers of fabric as the bobbin kept jumping and missing stitches?
At the time I changed the needle to a heavier one with no result and I didn't think to take the bobbin out and remove sewing bed plate - doing that I solved the problem - dust and fluff tightly compacted under and around the bobbin case gave the bobbin no room to move.
A simple clean with a paint brush. a chop stick (to reach into the corners) and a lot of huffing and puffing and I know have a machine that runs as well as the day first day I bought it - something that is so easily over looked like replacing a blunt needle.
Thank you ladies again for your excellent web site
Best wishes

Thank you so much. I have just been reading the recent newsletter and have learnt so much from the member videos. Please keep up the good work. Jane (April 2011)
Hi, Just wanted to say a huge thank you for this website. A Godsend to someone like me who is unable to go to workshops now and misses them very much. I especially liked the video about the needles and threads. Most welcome information, but I am working my way through them all and they have given me new incentive to start sewing again. So a huge big thank you.
Best wishes Maureen (April 2011)

I'm a fairly new subscriber to Justhandson-tv, and really enjoy it - a great concept, so congratulations on it, and I hope it continues to thrive.
please continue to do the good work you have done so far, Its great thank you
I thoroughly enjoyed browsing the various articles which are very
clearly shown; maybe iIwill be able to mitre my corners now I can see
how to do it properly, unfortunately I am one of those people who needs
to see how to do something, book explanations don't seem clear enough.
Tina
My 14 year old granddaughter is taking Textiles as a GCSE subject and she & I are working on several home projects, so I'm sure the new additions to my stash will widen her horizons for choice of fabrics. She enjoys your on-line videos as much as I do!
Hi, just subscribed; how good is this having a UK channel I love it.
Julie

Elma commented on a post you were tagged in:
"I subscribe............great tutorials and interviews.....love it!!"
I really enjoy justhands-on.tv; the techniques section is great (I used your Flying Geese method very successfully); workshops are excellent, not just the ones which are about quilting. I look forward to each new item.
I certainly recommend the site to all my friends.
Best wishes, Anna.
Thanks so much for all the inspiration, had to buy a laptop for the sewing room now ~ just so I can watch and sew
Justhandsontv, is brilliant ,when I'm too tired to quilt, it's lovely to sit back and watch other people create.
Thankyou
Linda
Just wanted to say what a wonderful time I have had taking my first look into
justhandsontv! What a super idea you have had, will be passing the site to
patchwork friends over here in France so hopefully you will get more members. I now need my own laptop so that I can sit in a comfy chair instead of sitting in
the study, I was engrossed for 2hrs yesterday (could not be tempted to log off!)
