How it Works:

Professor Pincushion is going live for a test run on creating a fun project while hanging out with other crafters.  There are many ways to participate.  You can ask questions live with your own voice and be in the broadcast video feed by being in the google hangout. You can just watch the live video feed and ask questions in the Professor Pincushion live chat section on our site.  If you just like to lurk, you can just watch the live video feed on our front page or on our YouTube channel page.  At the bottom of this page are detailed instructions on how to do each one, just pick which one you wish to do.  Feel free to post feedback in the comments below to see how we can improve for the next live broadcast.
