Braiding With Marge Videos...Client Reviews
Here's what my clients have to say about the videos...
"My first rug is 8 feet round and so beautiful
to me.
I like it better than the 2 inch strips method. It goes faster and
gives one a thick and more gorgeous rug!"
"...Thank you for taking the time to create a video that will pass on your knowledge."
"Good morning Marge, here is my first rug, called 'Earth Wind and Fire'....It took me 18.3 hours. I completed it late last night...Happy braiding, I am now going to attempt some stair treads. Any tips?"
"My first reaction AMAZING! Your braided rug instructions are very clear and the camera man was suberb with the closeups."
"My twin sister and I purchased your two videos...I have the round and she has the oval. I can't say enough nice things about your video! I have to admit I took braided rug lessons a year ago but to have the video to play whenever needed is invaluable! Plus just learning at a braided rug class, one does not always grasp the details when presented. I watch the video bits and pieces over and over. My rug is now on row 20. You are a remarkable person to share your rug making skills. Thank you so much!"
"The program is so personal, I feel as though we are in a room together."
"I received the DVDs and watched the one on making an oval braided rug. I have a whole new appreciation for the effort that goes into this and truly admire your workmanship. My husband watched part of it and was impressed as well. Very good DVD - organized, methodical and easy to follow. Thank you for making them. I have no experience in braiding a rug so it is a bit daunting to me right now. I'm going to take your advice and take one lesson at a time! "
"I received your videos and was very impressed with your approach to rug braiding. Your instructions are clear and concise. I especially appreciate your including the little stumbling blocks we experience, and how to correct them as we go along. The glowing reviews I read before ordering are deserved. Bravo!"
I am anxious to get braiding. I have received my DVD's today!! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful talent. I love how thorough you are with your video. So far, so great!"
"Marge, I must tell you what a wonderful DVD you produced. I watched it for the first time over the weekend. I knew there had to be a method to figure out all the things that go into making a braided rug. My daughter is getting married in June and wants a braided rug for her living room. I can only hope that I'm not biting off more than I can chew. Thanks again!"
"The videos are outstanding! I am not exactly sure how soon I will attempt a rug. There is a lot more to it than I realized...even though you make it look easy. They are very well done."
"I received your videos on Saturday and have watched them all the way through and have gone back and watched the part about planning and figuring how much wool you will need twice. I have planned out my rug and am ready to go. I am very excited...the videos are awesome. You did a great job explaining things and showing us how."
"I so enjoyed your video and feel as if I know you personally."
"I just watched the 8 lessons. Great job explaining. I did some research and purchased some wool that was advertised as coat weight wool. One of the colors was a much lighter weight than the others. If you could provide me with vendors for wool I would greatly appreciate it."
"I am in awe of your work and how you explain things. I don't know yet if I am capable of taking on the task of making a rug of the size that I would like."
"I really meant to send you a picture sooner. I had a hard
time getting the colors to come out correctly with my old camera. I finally
moved the rug outside, so the rug is out of context, but the colors are
more true. I hadn't thought about naming it - but I guess it would have
to be "Smokey" since I pulled the colors from a painting of
the Smokey Mountains. Thanks to your great video I have completed this
my first rug! I hope to do more soon."
"Certainly a great set of videos Marge. I bet they will sell like hotcakes...I took them to the Pa. "Braid-In", along with a laptop. The last evening quite a crowd gathered to watch them with all agreeing that your production values are tons better than anything we've seen in braiding videos or tapes. Your techniques were of interest to all."
"I googled in about making braided rugs and yours was a site that came up and I liked the way your rugs looked. They are just beautiful. I had already bought 4.75 yds. of material for just a dollar a yard and had started to make one. I figured at that price it wouldn't matter how I messed up. Then I saw part of your video on your site and realized I did everything wrong from the start."
"I just went through all eight lessons of your DVD without a break. Like a really good book I couldn't quit until I saw it all."
"Your video is great! Your well organized step-by-step approach has been most helpful. I think I braid a little too tight and thats why it has been so tricky to keep the lacing from showing. Tapering was the hardest part, and although my taper is satisfactory, I hope to improve that skill on my next rug. Your instruction is inspiring, and when I get past this hand problem I plan to start a second rug to compliment this one. I will certainly let you know when my rug is completed. Merry Christmas to you and all your handsome family!"
"One of the great values of having the videos is that they can be played over and over until you understand."
"Marge, My videos came today. Just watched Lesson I and am now in search of fabric. The instruction is so effectively presented. I am confident that I will be able to do this."
"When it comes to the section 'Calculating Yardage Requirements', I had to view it several times to really understand. It becomes clear then."
"The photography is amazing and the intro makes the whole program very personal right from the start."
"I have attached photos of my first 2 rugs. The purple one is a 2 X 3 for my mom. The brown and gold one is for my kitchen. I just have to tell you that I showed my friend my rug I was so proud of, and she asked me if I could make 2 for her!!! I am stunned and thankful and very excited. Of course I will ask her to pay just for the material since I am still practicing. Those butts still cause me grief."
"...And I will have you know that I finally started coiling last night and I'm having a ball!!"
"I am so glad you made the videos. I learn so well from seeing videos. I do like the fact that I can watch them exactly when I am on a certain step."
"The video I am watching has unbelievable detail. Very good presentation."
"Found you on the web. The absolute best instructional video I have ever used. You did a fantastic job on telling me how to create your beautiful rugs. I have been ordering wool from all over thanks to your advice as to where to go. Not all has arrived yet so have only made my charts and decided on size. Almost ready to start braiding with the wool I do have. Once again, thank you so much for all of your help."
"I am now watching lesson 2 of the oval DVD. Very motivating. You are magic with those braids."
"I received your DVD's this week and have been devouring them. I'm taking your advice and listening to all the lessons before I start my first project. I feel I've gotten to know you (and you are charming!) Thanks again."
