I would like to see more tutorials on pattern fitting. I’m very large busted ((44DDD) US 3X) and having a heck of a time altering patterns to fit. To make things worse I’m only a US size 12 on the bottom. I’d also like to see more large size patterns.

I’m new to Burdastyle and don’t really know what sort of tutorials you have been giving to date, but I am interested in couture techniques and highly technical sewing information.

I would like to see more tutorials on pattern making, as I am still a novice pattern maker. Also, a start-to-finish corset tutorial would be great! (because I LOVE corsets but don’t know where to start :S)

I would like to see techniques on how to modify patterns to fit petite women. I am only 5’2" (pear shape)and I always have to shorten the torso and reduce the bust of everything. I would also like to see tips on pattern making! THanks Burda!

I would just love a nice tutorial on how to drape a garment with museline on a dressform, to transform it into a patern. Just like we see the designer do on Project Runway. This machine is awesome, I would be delighted to own one.

I would like to see pattern alteration tutorials on Burdastyle. So often the big pattern producers miss the mark on design lines and more importantly proper fit! The patterns out there are so often too large for the size they are supposed to fit. I am seeking greater autonomy in my sewing by learning skills so that I can change a pattern into what I want it to be. Burdastyle is an excellent source and I can’t wait for more.
Dec 2, 2010, 05.42 PMby lizyard
more custom tailoring techniques!
Dec 2, 2010, 05.40 PMby Lennette Daniels
I would love to see more beginner instruction, especially geared toward teens since both my daughter and niece are sewing.
Dec 2, 2010, 05.28 PMby assamthee
I would like to learn more about stitching stretchy fabrics without a serger. I always struggle with this so tend to avoid all knits, which is a shame…
Dec 2, 2010, 05.15 PMby calliesa
I’m a babybeginner sewer and I’d LOVE to have my own sewing machine—I am borrowing one now as it is. I’d like to see more intro level projects (that are still wearable).

I would LOVE to see how to hand bead or apply swarovski crystals. Little details that make all the difference! ( And can help with details on Theatre costumes! )

I like the articles focused on vintage fabric. As a newbie, I’d appreciate any info on fabric: what makes it special and what to use it for (and what not to use it for!).

It would be great to win this machine – It would give me a chance to teach my granddaughter to sew on her own machine

I would love to see tutorials on how to adjust patterns and ready-to-wear to camouflage trouble spots, such as big hips or a gut.

I would love to see more no pattern tuts that get beginners sewing useful items right away!

I make my own clothes so they will be just right – so any tutorials on how to alter a pattern – fitting sleeves, lengthening hems, re-doing darts to be more flattering – would be great!
