Camera shots were not that good. Sometimes the instructor's hand was in the way and it was hard to see the wire while she was wrapping.

This was an awesome class. I've have tried to wrap things on my own using techniques from a book I have, but Melanie gives so many helpful techniques that I am now ready to try this again!
