Jodie and Mark show their latest rug hooking project and then talk with Mark’s door knock, Marion Sachs, who is a master at both rug hooking and quilting. Then Jodie does a “how to” demonstration, showing how the advanced features of today’s machines can make a buttonhole applique stitch a snap.
Marion Sachs shows Mark some of her fabulous hooked rugs. Marion demonstrates how easy it is to hook using her favorite $6 tool and shows how she dyes wool strips for maximum shading. And, oh yes, just like quilters if you are a rug hooker, you will have a stash.
Later in the video, Jodie and Mark review Easy and Fun Free Motion Quilting: Frames, Fillers, Hundreds of Ideas by Eva A. Larkin and show two lovely quilts from the book.

talented she is and such a special person, I belive she can do
anything she sets out to do and do it magnificently well!

Thank you for your demonstration. I wish the demonstrators would remember to tell us the machine they are using. If you are talking about special features, ‘babylock’ is simply NOT enough information. Please take your viewers seriously. The machines you are on are an integral part of your professional presentation.
