I’m looking for the complete text directions for “Make Cozy Slippers in Just 1 Hour”, which was on your website in the recent past few months. It included a video entitled, Fast&Easy: Sew Cozy Slippers,….
It may come in hand for your website to contain a ‘Search’ option, which would save the hassle.
Thank you for your service!

need instructions on how to use the 3 pcs wide rolled hem set.
I find your information very good.
I’m learning how to make a quick lap quilt.
Good evening !
I looked at what you emailed me but I don’t get it! How to return these ? The demonstration you provide doesn’t show me what you are marking and because there are no details just you marking.
Thanks ! I am not a quilter so maybe it a good idea for someone with good vision but not for me.
