    She used to teach kindergarten. So, that is her teacher voice. The further away she got from that career, the "better" she got.

    Don't you get tired of seeing them tell how to do something like it was ingenious and you have been doing it forever?

    Have you ever had someone leave their phone number on your answering machine and you had to play it 4 times and then you are still not sure.

    I think they probably do that because they are teaching all kinds of people. There are probably a lottttttttttt of beginners out there that have no clue what they are doing so they do that to reach every one. Just consider yourself lucky that you get quilting shows. I haven't been able to find any here. Luckily threre are a lot of vidios on the net which I find even better.

    I don't like some of the voices either: Eleanor Burns sounds like she's still in elementary school and Alex Anderson is just plain false - especially in her laugh; however, I do enjoy the shows and it's something to do since I'm retired. I love Sewing with Nancy altho' a couple of her shows didn't interest me, but that's okay - she is connecting with everyone.

    By the way - you can get the entire show on your internet, but I don't know if they are all like that or not.

    Now that you mention it Eleanor Burns (my favorite teacher) does sound like Michele Duggar.

    Had to laugh, I do wake at 4am to watch Fons and Porter but I actually auto wake at that time a lot, wouldn't set my alarm. I like them quite a bit.
