Someone posted a link further down in the comments. June 2016 I think. The link is for Tipnut.com. They have patterns for appliance covers to sew or crochet. Really good ideas. I have to make a KitchenAid cover and one for my instant pot, as well. Now all I need the the gumption to make them. Lol
When I saw 6 ideas for the kitchen I hoped one was a cover for the kitchen aid mixer. Your others gave me ideas and I thank you for that. Keep up the good work.
I would love to make these projects
I’m looking for quick and easy projects and patterns for sewing and serging. I am new to serging.

Thanks for all the sewing projects. I really appreciate your postings. Can’t wait to try a couple of the kitchen ideas.
Do you have ideas on covers for toaster, blender, mixer, food processor, casserole carrier, tea cozy, table runner, kitchen curtains?
Can I use cloth diaper material in the place of the terry cloth for these towels?
Dear Sharya,
Thank you for your patience. In response to your question-
Yes, you can use that material in place of the terry cloth.
Cheers,

Been waiting for ages to learn how to use my serger.
is there a pattern for making a cover for a stand mixer?
Love this projects!!
Bought a serger years ago, never used. Now I’m afraid of it. How will I learn to use it?
the hardest thing about a serger is threading it ! actually using it is a breeze. study your manual for threading. just go for it ! I’ve had a serger now for
I have a Husquevarna serger in my closet. Behind the door! Fear of threading. You are not alone. A tutorial would be great especially for those of us who don’t have “easy” threaders.
I have a Husquevarna serger, too, and I find it easier to thread following the chart behind the little door at the bottom. Once you get it threaded, just tie new threads to the old ones and pull them gently until they come to the needle.
Same here..paid $900 for it and used it twice. The threading drives me crazy. Should sell it.
There might be a Husqvarner Viking sewing gallery near you. Many are located inside Joann’s craft stores. They offer classes for their sergers.
Is it possible to take a pattern for a larger size and make it fit a smaller size.
On exploring around the website (only almost a year after joining!!) I have found all these tutorials. What was I doing all this time. I have thrown embarrassment out of the window and now just want to say how much I am enjoying all the benefits of being a member. Simply stunning website and thank you so much. Regards Shirlie (UK)
I want to know, what I have to do to seem the videos completely, thank you

No web site
Can’t wait to try these
I’m hard of hearing, and I would like to know if any of the tutorial are closed captioned.
Hi Glenda. Unfortunately, at this time we do not have closed captioning available. However, we are working on it and we are hoping it will be available soon! Thank you, Hallie NSC Video Membership
Try using headphones or a good set of earbuds to listen to the videos. It makes a world of difference.
Sorry it mostly does not. Many hearing need closed capton in order to understand the sound. Louder does not really help.
Hello Kaaren,
I am sorry that you are experiencing technical difficulties. I would suggest restarting your device and clearing your web history before logging into your account. The closed caption tab is located in the bottom right corner of the video. Once you have click on the tab you should see the closed caption options.
