When I was younger, sewed alot. Then got busy raising a family, working in an occupation that required a lot of time away from home, and now....finally can return to a whole new world of sewing techniques. Learning newer techniques with my serger and new sewing machines has been very helpful. Embroidery tips have inspired me to learn & try new projects with my new machine. Learning what each foot can do was amazing. Thank you for your wonderful teaching style and for the shows! I am learning so much! Look forward to 2019 segments you broadcast.....each segment is very educational. I have always thought it is a good day if I learn one new thing. Watching "It's See Easy" makes Saturday a fantastic day!

Joanne Banko

1/3/2019 14:24:14

I love any tunic style that Sarah Gunn makes so to learn how to embroidery around the neck opening was top notch. One more way to change up the look.

Joanne Banko

Hello Susan, You are right about Sarah's segment with the embroidered neckline. I love that style blouse so much and the embroidery really made it spectacular!

It’s Sew Easy isn’t just an educational program, it’s also exciting and inspirational. I’m learning how to machine embroider and my goal is to prepare a special outfit for myself for the spring. Sarah Gunn provided great information on her segment. I’m ready to try a tunic like the one she made.

Joanne Banko

Hi De! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Sarah's tunic was fabulous. I was in the studio on the same day and lucky me . . . I got to see it in person! I'm cheering you on as you embark on your next embroidery project :-)

Love watching all of the videos. Always get at least one small tip from each one. Not enough time right now but there are several projects from the videos I would like to tackle. Top on my list is to purchase Wrapped in Embroidery and try a scarf.

I stumbled across It's Sew Easy when visiting my daughter in Texas a few years ago. Upon returning to Virginia, I found it on a cable channel and have been watching ever since. Joanne, you have taught me much about sewing machine feet and about embroidery and given great tips about garment sewing. I really like the cape in the new episode. I remember seeing that fabric in the store and wondering what it could be used for. You have wonderful ideas, and I thank you for sharing with us.

Joanne Banko

I enjoy It's Sew Easy and Joanne, you are one of my favorite presenters! You always have useful and clear demonstrations. One of my recent faves is the couching on the collar you did with yarn. I have a dress pattern with a large wrap collar that I'd been thinking of doing tonal couching. I have the digital couching foot and now I've decided a tonal yarn with some sparkle will be perfect! I also enjoyed the back tab curtains project. You gave some useful tips there too. And I loved the embroidery and decorative stitching on the western shirt. I love jean shirts and jackets, so that was a great one for me. Thanks for doing what you do. I love watching!!

Joanne Banko

1/17/2019 13:19:19

Hi Patti! Your kind comments were very much appreciated! It's really meaningful to me to hear how many shows were appealing to you. The couching segment was one of my all time favorites to present.

Your show is the reason I purchased the Brother Dream Machine. Being able to see how the different features are used in your show is so rewarding. I have finally allowed myself to play, and the ideas I get from the show are adding to my confidence.

Hi Joanne, I love watching It's sew easy! I love the regulars and I love the guests that are on the show. I like that the show gives more time to each person. In the beginning of the show, it seemed that they crammed as many procedures and people as possible but the info wasn't detailed enough for many of us. I love when they give more time to each person to show their work. Thanks for all the years of info and inspiration! I hope this show never ends!

I watched the video on drapes with the hidden tabs and plan to give it a try. I used the search bar to see the formula mentioned but could not find the chart. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Hi Cindy! Thanks for reaching out! You'll find instructions for various guest segments right on the itsseweasytv.com website. You'll see a tab at the top of the page that says projects and what's on our show. Once you find that you can search by series and then by individual shows. Having said all that, I have all the videos and related instructions for series 1600 posted here on my site. I pasted in the link below:
