What people are saying
“I love the course. It is very well done.” — Sandra Best
“My main goal for taking this course is to make extra income, and the price was the best around. The self-pacing was vital to me, as was Melissa’s easy availability to answer all questions. I have found everything super clear, thank you!” —Kikelomo Amusa-Shonubi
“I wanted to learn as much as I can about tech editing so I can create adaptive crochet garments that individuals in wheelchairs can wear. I had checked other options and this course uses an actual PDF pattern to learn. Other programs didn’t offer the extent of knowledge that you have offered. Melissa is so genuine, and I love how she has set up the lessons!” — Sue Morgan
“I want to learn all I can as I embark on a tech editing career, and Melissa appeared to have a good resume, knowledge, and experience. The course was worth the cost. Having only one crochet pattern to work on throughout the course gave great continuity between modules—I learned a lot from working on one real pattern. I also liked that I could go through the course material as many times as needed to grasp the modules.” — Rho
“Melissa knows what she’s talking about. I love how approachable and professional she is.” —Germander Cottage Crafts
“Melissa is professional, a wealth of knowledge and a total godsend. It’s so nice to have someone on my team who has my back when it comes to precision. You are amazing!” — Namaste & Crochet
