SEWING MACHINE recommendations:
My current sewing machine is a Baby Lock BRILLIANT. If you're looking to buy a good entry level machine, I love many machines in this series called JOY, ZEAL, and JUBILANT. You can purchase and read some reviews on this site (they are out of stock on some of them due to the pandemic and everyone sewing masks, but hopefully they will have more soon!:

    Dana, I love how you go straight to showing us the How to's.  The information given is clear, and precise while still making it fun.  Also your set is visually appealing, as well as all of the crafts you make which is a definite plus! ...  Great job lady! Keep them coming :] 
  • I just got my first sewing machine and I spent hours looking for the best YouTube channels that could help me learn. Overall, yours has hands down been my favorite! A slip cover for a throw pillow was my first project and it looks so cute in my daughter's room! I could not have asked for a better tutorial. Not only are you a great teacher, but the clean editing and clear visuals make a huge difference. Thank you so much for making these!

    my boyfriend got me a sewing machine for my birthday yesterday and I was looking to make pillow covers, this is great, thanks for the tutorial.

    I randomly found your channel trying to make pillow covers and watched a few more of your videos.  I like the way you explain everything in simple terms and make everything seem easy, and not so scary.  I'm a pretty beginner level sewer so this is perfect for me.  Thanks!!!  I will keep watching more of your videos for ideas and projects.

    Thank you for your tutorials!!! I'm new to sewing! I bought a mini sew & sew machine and I loved it I bought a full size machine just today! And this was my first project on my new machine! Didn't take me more than about 30-40 minutes! (I'm very new to sewing!) loved the out come!!

    Thank you for this video. I am a visual learner and I learned how to make a pillow sham watching your detailed instructions once. I made some amazing pillows for my family room. Thank you for sharing. Much love.
  • I am a beginner, but just made pillow cases for my cushions that looks as if they where bought from the shop made by a professional. Thank you Dana for sharing your skill.
