Any good fitting dvds--an update?
Mrs4Him   Advanced Beginner MO USA Member since 7/19/09 Posts: 82	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 8/1/12 4:30 PM Hi--I tried to order the Pattern Fitting with Confidence DVD by Nancy Zieman from my dealer but found out it was discontinued. I looked in the message board and found one question about the same thing from 2009--about any good fitting dvds. Does anyone know of any good videos since the last post in 2009? Thanks so much!

She has a lot of fitting DVDs for sale. JEF ------ "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." --Abraham Lincoln

I use Cynthia Guffey fitting series,but it is a little pricy. I also have Peggy Sagers DVDs. ------ "Let's make the most of this day" bluefly

Date: 8/2/12 12:07 PM I can't recommend highly enough the DVD series by Threads. They feature specific areas (darts, bodice, etc.) and then they've done a 4-part series with Louise Cutting on how to adjust patterns for specific body issues. They are not cheap but they are timeless and well worth it IMO.

If you have an " Insider " membership you can also watch them on their website. They are great. It is a series of four: arms, torso, waist/hips and bust. Here is the link for the box set. ------ Ada Currently on: Fabric Fast http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/sewingclasses/board.pl?t=73813 2013 Fabric sewn: 12 yrd Fabric in: 0 yrd Fabric out: 60 yrd (given away) And a Year of Pants Challenge (on hold temporarily due to ongoing weight loss) http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/sewingclasses/board.pl?t=66247

Date: 8/2/12 6:39 PM The Insider membership was only $12.50 (since I'm a print subscriber) and let me tell you, I've totally gotten my money's worth out of that!! I noticed that DVD 4 was up there actually before it was released in stores. I love that I can search for a specific problem, and find the actual video segment.

Date: 8/2/12 7:03 PM Courtney, I whole heartly agree with you. The $12.50 I spent was well worth it just for the DVD's . I have been thinking about getting the Louise Cutting DVD's just so I can have them at home but it seems like a waist of money as long as I can view then on the Threads web site. Not sure why I think I should buy them? I also have a number of Peggy Sagers DVD's on fitting and think they are worth the money. She has specials on the DVD's all the time. -- Edited on 8/2/12 7:04 PM -- ------ Ada
