      I also had a problem to get this video to play until I enlarged the screen (small icon, bottom right). Once enlarged, all was good.
      I know your comment was two years ago, Joyce, but if you or anyone else finds it difficult to open a video, hopefully clicking on this icon will help.

    I also trace my patterns on to the fabric used for weddings, the roll used by brides for walking down the aisle. I pick it up cheap in thrift stores.

    I’ve got hearing loss, and found this brief video difficult to follow without subtitles. Especially as it is necessary to show the pattern piece, so lip reading isn’t possible for these segments.
