You were my favorite on project runway..... I've learned so much from you. Most designers wouldn't dare share this wealth of knowledge for free. Thank you, and may God continue to bless you in all your good endeavours!!

[@cleanfasteasysafe]

Deborah Muhammad I agree

[@karenriddle9156]

You practice the wisdom of a Good Soul. You know the old saying.....”if you wanna keep it , you gotta give it away?” Just a five minute video of yours gives me happiness in my day and raises the quality of my life because of the knowledge gained from it ....can you imagine how crazy blessed your life will be for giving THAT away!!!!!

[@allissadolinger3271]

Nick, I wanted to just say thank you for all of your videos! I have just started making my own clothing and bought a dress form. We appreciate your time and talents making these videos!

[@katieallcroft1982]

I never would have thought there were so many different kinds of silk! This was super helpful and informational. Thanks so much for sharing, Nick!

[@oliviabarbato-dunn6100]

I did not think of how different silks were before this! Thank you for making me appreciate the detail so much more.

[@christinecorpse]

[@nauglefest]

This tutorial is awesome. I love fabrics and colors. I love the reflectivity of satin. I enjoy the way Nick explains these fabrics.

[@dipenbaniya]

When I get confused, I come back to you to make things clear just like this one to decide what I need to use for my next project. Thank you 🙏

[@dl8708]

I love the names of each type of silk. I love your informative video 😘 keep making . straight on the point!

OMG I love this dude. Your generosity makes me a better person every day. Stay golden man! Escandalo!!!

[@KColeman578]

Thanks for the rundown! Very insightful and a helpful resource for students as we switch to online classes as students whose major (theatre) usually requires lots of hands-on learning!

[@cansucan9875]

Thank you very much I LOVE watch your draping fashion so clear and lovely

[@nickscott8200]

I'm just amazed you got that much information through in such a short amount of time!

[@Aurora-uh9nk]

Great and Grazie Molto ! sewing is my new found hobby but although I am not into design yr videos r the best . U go straight to the point and even show the different fabrics wow ! Tks

[@tinakanani3335]

You have become my favourite from the mornent I saw yr first video. Juss love the way you talk .. n also the kind of information you share for people like me who knows nothing about fashion n materials. Pls keep making such wonderful videos.

[@miadeita9377]

I love the way you explain. Not boring. ☺️❣️

[@baronepam]

This is so informative, I like knowing about the properties even if I will never be able to afford the fabric. Thank you.

[@Rune3D]

I'm not even a fashion person, I just found my way here because I have an obsession with silk fabric due to my autism. It's actually stress-reliever for me. I keep a piece of silk or satin cloth in my pocket so I can rub it whenever I feel stressed, or lost in thought. I don't know, the smooth texture of the fabric just helps me relax and concentrate. I can't tell you why, but that's been a truism my entire life. Now I have a bearing on the various kinds of silk that will help me feel better. :)

[@abbyroscher778]

Who knew there were so many types of silk. Fabulous!

[@vivianasalomon5934]

[@wmpetroff2307]

WOW I got here somehow looking up Persian history. This is a fantastic nutshell education on silk. Thank you, bro.

[@debrasbarkle4896]

Your teaching method is beyond festive! I need you in my bedroom- to go through my closet with me and tell me everything to get rid of and why. Then tell me what to shop for. Then go shopping with me. Then come back to my place so you can prepare me to model everything for my husband, one outfit at a time. 😂

[@mytheatasticlife7528]

OMG thank you so much Nick for this. I have been struggling to find the difference between several fabrics like these and I am only starting to learn to sew. You can't imagine how helpful this is for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@YusukeEugeneUrameshi]

I think you're awesome for sharing tips and knowledge. New subscriber here - from Philippines

[@funfettiyani]

~ I Will re-watch this episode, it's hard going around the fabric store and asking questions about how can I use certain fabric, the store clerks are always too busy to help. Thank You.🌺 Nick!! ~

[@judichristopher4604]

I absolute love this video... You are Fabulous.... .. but please NOTE: Your background music is too loud making it hard to hear you... Honey, you don't need background music I just want to HEAR YOU Talk... that is all I need. Thank you Love, for such a great video.. "Chow"

[@joseryanalmodovar5877]

Judi Christopher I do agree with you. Indeed it was fabulous to hear Nick share his enthusiasm for all things fashion, with or without the background music😂 Now to placate the perfectionist in me that quietly roars to mention this, at the end of the comment perhaps do you mean to spell out ciao (or chao) as in goodbye? Cheers to learning about all things fashion 👗👡👝

[@sillythings221]

I really love watching your videos❤️👍

Thank you! short and useful! ❤️

[@meghabose3295]

OH MY GOD i was seriously in the need of this video.. i have some really difficulties in differentiating the fabrics

[@renaezelmar6718]

Thank you! What a wonderfully quick and informative video! I have been trying to wrap my head around bridal fabrics, and this was so helpful! I know this bleeds into fabric weaves vs. fiber types, but can anyone explain what (silk) faille is? How is it different from (silk) crepe?

[@fiberbynature]

Thanks so much for this video. I love silk!

[@antoinettemitchell2888]

Thank you for this video. You are fabulous!

[@anjylkat]

Fabulous video lesson!!

[@retahelu6443]

Thank you very helpful for someone who doesn't know anything about fabrics

[@ruthflath9571]

Love fabric! More videos on all fabric.

[@goldenstitches6550]

I love the work you doing u have inspired me to have my own channel

[@TheDarkDresser]

Just what I needed. Shopping online, it's hard to determine what the different fabrics are like. Plus, the few fabric stores we had in my area have been closed over the years. Lol, I also love saying "organza."

[@classicalbk]

Thank you! I needed that!

[@EldritchAnanke]

I am a writer. I've wanted to understand the difference between silks for an age and I have never come across a more clear and concise explanation. Thank you so much. I do have a question, which been eating away at me since 2015: what material did they use for Cinderella's bridal veil in the live-action film? You seem like a fellow who'd know in an instant

[@Hsehseng]

Thanks a million for this video!!

[@EasternDresses]

love this channel.

[@jennifersuzanne4764]

Thank you!! I do not sew, but I am trying to learn about flowy fabrics so I know what to tell people when I'm trying to describe what type of wedding dress I am picturing in my head. Who knew there were so many silk blends! Could you do a video for best fabrics for a skirt that will have a lot of movement?

[@rosariawalterpellegrini7557]

solo una parola: straordinario! !!

[@golbarg4]

Thank you so much Nick

[@cheliebritt2192]

[@kelseyleenaro3295]

Nick, Thank you very much for all your sewing secrets. I really appreciate your channel. I was wondering if you have suggestions on where to buy your fabric from. it's often difficult to find expensive gown fabrics at common fabric stores.

[@Majtaism]

Wow, so passionate xxx love to watch it x

[@ginaarroyo56]

thank you so much sir. it's a big help

[@ian_b]

55 years on this planet and finally I know what Organza is. Is there nothing one cannot learn on KZbin?

[@queenofhearts786]

Wow, I didn't know there were so many different types of silks. Thank you very useful video. will black net material and Italian crepe lining be good for draping in a long gown?

[@lufariaz]

Amazing! Thank you!

Hey Nick, love watching you when the kids are at school, was just wondering if the satin glows in the dark? The kids are going to a glow in the dark themed party and I would love to use satin if possible. Thanks!
