PlusEn general el curso es interesante pero la persona que lo imparte parece incomoda y al tener que ir leyendo los subtitulos resulta un poco aburrido. Me hubiera gustado descargar el patrón de la pieza del curso y los datos más importantes como la glosaría de los hilos en un pdf para poder descargarlo.
