Your tutorials are very professional & helpful in learning Inkscape. I have used many other CAD software programs, but every software has it's own learning curve. Your tutorials will just get me up & running faster. I appreciate it very much.

I watched this a couple of years ago and needed to refer back to it today.  It was memorable so I guess that means it was pretty darn good!  Nice work and thank you!

I want to tell you I watched this video and learned in 12 minutes how to take any image I want, manipulate it any way I want in Gimp (which I am already very good at), then use InkScape to convert to vector and use for T-shirt designs. THANK YOU !
