I had the opportunity to set up a course for a client who asked me to teach her embroidery. I choose to teach crewelwork for beginners as stitching with yarn is a much faster process that stitching with embroidery thread and it is always good for the client to see a fast approach in creating something tangible in their hands. It is like the hook to getting them started and falling in love with the process of slow stitch.

As I came to set up the table to deliver the course, I remembered I had a plastic stand for a price list and another plastic display unit that I had used when selling my products at Greenwich Market and I used both to create a stand to place the camera handle. You may be thinking why am I writing about this and the reason is that I have set up a YouTube channel to create videos of the products that I am teaching on and my first video on Sewing with Samines has quite a few thuds in the video and having a discussion with a friend about this issue he suggested that if the microphone is part of the video camera and too close to me when I am demonstrating I may need another video camera. So I wanted to see how this worked, unfortunately due to the client having to go to an emergency meeting this morning I did not get the chance to see if this would work. So, I will start the process again when I next meet up with her.

So lets get back to the display units, I had an idea to anchor with a bag of pasta and lentils to put under the display units to anchor them as they were toppling over and it also good for me to see how I need to set up future meetings going forward.
