“I wanted to let you know how much value I got from your tech writing class at TNNA. I wasn’t sure I was going to learn much, because I’ve been designing and publishing sweater patterns for eight years now…My goal of learning how to work with a tech editor was definitely achieved in your class. But, I also got a whole lot more. A huge boost in confidence in my abilities…I was in the process of writing a pattern for a shawl-collared, saddle-shouldered cardigan with much additional finishing detail… After your class I was able to approach the project with a new attitude {and} a renewed confidence…
So, thank you for the knowledge, but especially the confidence.”

“I saw the comment “If you love making granny squares, but hate sewing them together, this is the class for you”. That fit me to a T. I have learned lots of practical and pretty ways to attach squares, which is much more enjoyable than just sewing them together. I especially love the continuous final round method. Edie is a very good instructor with a great love of teaching that really shows.” — 5 star review from Craftsy user Contenda, about the Joining Crochet Motifs class
“This class was absolutely fantastic! I feel like I learned many skills that are already improving the results of my projects. It answered some of the questions I’ve come across while crocheting. Understanding stitch multiples is very helpful! Edie is a great teacher who is very involved with the class, and she is genuinely interested in your projects. Highly recommend this class for anyone who is comfortable with crochet basics and ready to take your crochet to the next level. I have signed up for Edie’s class on edgings, and I am looking forward to beginning that.” — 5 star review from Craftsy user Bunnybread, about the Improve Your Crochet class
