I can't even open the video, so can't see how bad it is.

A little kindness here, please. Chergram's writing is not what you are used to reading, but read it a little more slowly, mentally add in pauses (punctuation) and try to read a little between the lines. I get distracted by the spelling errors and grammar in posts, but I am not here to grade writing. She is asking for help, and doesn't need criticism for her writing skills.
Chergram, there are many wonderful videos on the internet. You will figure it out. If you can go to a quilt store, I am sure you can find people to help you. Keep on posting your questions, we are here to learn and share.

QuiltE, has it occurred to you and to MCkwilter and certain others that perhaps the person writing is learning English as a seond language? I don't know that this is true, but my experience as a teacher leads me to believe that is a real possibility. Or that the poster may have a language disability? How about trying to rephrase what you think might be the question or questions and ask if your interpretation is correct. My personal thanks to all of you who are trying to offer help instead of--well, whatever it is. froggyintexas

Why not say in the post the problem with English or typing?

My mother learned English as a second language as an adult, and she was taught to punctuate and capitalize. I am used to the phrasing of English-is-not-my-native-language people from listening to her and her friends, and I read and re-read this post several times, and actually copied and pasted it to put in punctuation to try and make sense of it, and still had problems. Since I wasn't the only one who had problems with the original post, I won't apologize for my remarks. If she was not a native English speaker, she could have said so.
