This newly revised book compiles more than 30 years of teaching ideas gleaned from thousands of classes taught by Palmer/Pletsch corporate educators. The authors guide you through setting up a business, identifying what, where and when to teach, creating lesson plans and visuals for teaching, then marketing yourself and your "product."

You will then send the notebook to us to review and comment. If you pass, you can apply to be a certified instructor.

This slide-filled seminar contains the most important tips that will change anyone's sewing life for the better, whether they're working on fashion or home decorating projects. For problems with sleeves, easing, puckers, choosing the right interfacing, fitting challenges, sewing different shaped seams together, piping in fashio or home dec, choosing flattering styles, or ending up with a garment you are not proud to wear, this class has the answers. The CD includes a PowerPoint slide presentation, script, and seminar marketing materials. Purchase includes a listing on our 20 Tips seminar location directory, if you choose. (SEE DIRECTORY)

20 Tips Seminar CD $40.00

I heard great success stories from many of you who bought the 20 Tips CD. You said it gave you an instant class. Many of you taught it many times and had great success in attendance and sales. Many of you used it to promote your hands-on classes. I was so pleased as the seminar involved hundreds if not thousands of hours to create if you add all the sample making and photography over the years.

This year I did another version of the seminar at the Puyallup Sewing Expo and called it 20 MORE Tips. My attendance was superb and we sold tons of notions. The new disk includes a list of what you can purchase to sell at the seminar."

Are you teaching children how to sew? The Winky Cherry System of Teaching Children to Sew teaches children sewing plus social and growth skills. Levels progress from hand sewing to embroidery and machine sewing. Author and teacher Winky Cherry believes that children should learn to sew by hand before they learn to use a sewing machine. Hand sewing skills develop finger dexterity and teach the values of patience and practice. LEARN MORE...
