I mostly watch makeup/skincare channels.
I've also watched some cooking ones (Asian dumplings).
And home staging, since I'm going to move soon.

Mainly things relating to scrapbooking,papercraft projects and Sewing. When I first had my Serger machine I found some really fab videos on " how to" instructions on what else I could do with it in addition to what was in the instruction book that came with it.
I prefer to have visual instructions than written instructions.

I learned I've been crocheting backwards for twenty years just recently because I did a crochet along with video tutorials. Back when I learned I had to use a book to try and teach myself. All this time I've been doing it wrong. Retraining myself is tough

It usually downloads as a pdf and there should be a cleaning section. In my case there was a way to remove the top holding bar and the front glass could be lifted out. |

It has saved me when the damn instructions to install an item are so unclear! I often wonder how we got along without technology-my friend and I were driving some place New with the GPS and she asked how we did this in the old days. I said a lot of wrong turns and asking at gas stations.
