We're two sewing buds who love to sew, and it's basically all we ever talk about.

Helen Wilkinson· Host0:27

This episode is all about presser feet. We cover all the basics and take you into truly mysterious territory, [laughs] like how do you use a ruffler foot? Do you need a blind hem foot to sew a blind hem? And does my machine have a high shank or a low shank? We've got your answers.

Caroline Somos· Host0:44

If you love to sew, this is your show.

Helen Wilkinson· Host0:46

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.

Hi, Helen. [laughs] [laughs] I'm good. How are you?

Helen Wilkinson· Host0:57

No presser.

Helen Wilkinson· Host1:00

[laughs] [laughs] I just wanna make presser-related jokes.

Caroline Somos· Host1:04

[laughs] I'm feeling really pressered right now- [laughs] ... to make presser-related jokes.

Helen Wilkinson· Host1:09

[laughs] Don't press me.

Caroline Somos· Host1:10

[laughs] [laughs] Are you dressed to im-press- [laughs] ... today?

Helen Wilkinson· Host1:16

Not really, honestly.

Caroline Somos· Host1:17

[laughs] No. [laughs] No, me neither.

Helen Wilkinson· Host1:19

You'll notice we have not put our podcast on YouTube- I was gonna say- ... and there's a reason for that ...

Caroline Somos· Host1:23

this is why we don't have video with the podcast- [laughs] ... 'cause we just don't want to get dressed.

Helen Wilkinson· Host1:28

[laughs] No, I don't.
