El curso es uno muy completo. Me gustó q presenta varias puntadas y sugerencias en la utilización de las mismas. Sin embargo lo mas importante lo dejaron fuera y mo es culpa de la profesora si no de Domestika en sí. La demostración de puntadas no se observa bien debido a q no hay acercamiento de la cámara cuando se hace demostración de las mismas. Se dificulta observar como se hacen las puntadas por esto. Un curso introductorio y muy ameno para empezar en el bordado.
