So much to absorb. This series got into many elements that I was not familiar with. Lots of work to do here. Videos are excellent to explain each feature.

Read MoreThe presentation in all lessons is clear, concise, and completely understandable. The only thing lacking, which I would like to see, is a real stitch-out of examples. For instance, what does a carving stamp really look like? How does overlap on filled holes of 0.5 mm compare to 1.5 mm? Clearly, not everything needs a stitch-out, but a few choice ones would lend greater understanding. Otherwise, this series is super.
