Les cours aident beaucoup à apprendre de nouvelles choses quand elles ne sont pas acquises. Les exercices permettent de mettre en pratique ce qui a été appris. Cette façon de mettre une leçon puis les exercices après me permettent personnellement de retenir ce qui a été appris donc je n'ai rien à redire sur les Stitchfly. On peut en p'us, si on a des questions, les posées et avoir des réponses assez rapidement.
