She is in awe of herself. I'm shocked her head fits through her front door. I learned nothing about needlepoint from this woman. I did learn that she is somehow "inspired" by the trance she goes into. Very strange...

Really? You begin a new tapestry with no plan in mind? You clearly had no plan for this video either.

I couldn't watch all of this.

This video showed nothing at all about how to do tapestry or needlepoint. What was she thinking? Apparently she was making a video about herself and not teaching anything at all.

i thought the purpose of these videos were teach a person to needlepoint. these are aimed for a person who is interest in her work. as an artist, this does not even remotely approach instruction on any level. sorry, i am sure she is good at what she does. i only hope she wasn't just trying to get work her way.

I have been needlepointing for more years than not at this stage of my life. I have absolutely no idea what this young lady is talking about. I've learned nothing at all from these video segments other than her direction is, at best, weak and her canvas creation IMO are hideous. I wish someone would post some interesting techniques used in the art of needlepoint. It is such a fantastic hobby & yet I feel we are moving further and further away from its beuaty. Sad really.....................

Wow. I'm glad Francie's videos are free to watch. What a lousy teacher.
