This series was originally recorded LIVE on my Facebook page. When you're live, mistakes happen... please forgive me. Watch the captions for corrections. My phone is old and my wireless connection isn't always great. Sometimes the video is a little fuzzy, but still watchable. I edited for time, split it into separate tutorials, and removed some live interactions.

I've put countless hours into planning, creating, filming, and editing this tutorial video series. I'm happy to offer it to you for free, but I also appreciate all donations so I can continue making free tutorials in the future.
