I had fun working on the project for this course. The instructor is very knowledgeable and I learned a few new techniques.
Es un curso maravilloso, super creativo y extenso, se aprende mucho y la parte de bordar con mostacillas es preciosa. Explica muy bien y es un curso muy completo.
Buen curso, bien explicado, pero en varias ocasiones no se enfoca bien la puntada. Le hace falta más acercamientos con la cámara.
|||esta interesante, aunque aveces la camara no toma como hace la puntada, la tapa con las manos. falta un buen enfoque
Este curso me ha fascinado he aprendido nuevos punto y es muy fácil de seguir las instrucciones
