After buying my projector and getting it set up I had no of how to alter patterns with it. So I was limited in its use. So I started searching YouTube and found projector sewing . I was hesitant about spending the money but it has been well worth it. Everything is explained and shown clearly. I am really happy that I purchased this because it has eliminated me having to look all over YouTube for different videos and information. If you have a projector and you plan on using it for sewing you need to buy this course. I am still going through the course and I really like that I can come back to it if I need it. Thanks you for making this course because I was lost.

I purchased the course a while ago, but it took a required bed rest to have time and peace of mind, and loosing the fear to get going. I love the way Sherilyn explains, and shows the process. And I love that I can stop and start if I need more time to understand. With the exile of the Big 4, Projector Sewing will be compared to the transition of first huge clumsy computers to our laptops
