I’m happy to announce that we’ve partnered with PBS to bring you Sewing With Nancy on the PBS app, available for Apple phones and tablets, Xbox 360, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku! The app is free; all you need is an Internet connection/Wi-Fi to watch the latest episodes. The videos have been specially built for the screen you’re watching on; we hope you think they look terrific.
Click here to download Apple’s iOS app.
Please give it a whirl and let me know what you think!
Or watch Sewing With Nancy online.

I just enjoyed watching the episode on making things from old jeans. Would like to purchase the book, if there is one.
Thanks for what you do
I’m android too. But, I want to tell you how much I enjoy the body of your work.
Yes, I’m android too. But, at least, I can watch on Saturdays, at 9 am, and record it if I decide to sleep in. Also, want to say that I thoroughly enjoy your TV shows and blog since I have just gotten back to sewing, (retired after 32 years). Have bought your book, ” Easiest Way to Sew”, because I feel like I am learning all over again. Thank you for all your exceptional body of work. Will stay with you.
You’re awesome. I’ve been watching and learning from you for years. People including me truly admire you, thanks for sharing. It’s also nice too that others are invited on your show to share their talents. From all of us watching, bless your heart and thank you.
I get PBS but cable company only televise cartoons, I use Android and cannot get it on my tablet because you do not have it on anything but Apple products, why not?
Hi Martha, At this link, you’ll see directions for Android phones and devices. http://www.nancyzieman.com/blog/homescreen_button_android/
I love the idea of a PBS app to watch your videos….BUT it took me 30 minutes to read through all the help to change the PBS app so I could watch Wisconsin Public TV on the app. It is NOT intuitive. Nor is it easy to figure out what to do! Sewing s soooooo much easier.
I am surprised that you created an app for the Iphone before creating an app for the Android. Us Android users do not pay astronomical prices for phones so we have more money to buy Nancy’s Notions. Seems like a win-win situation.
When trying to download the app for iPhone a pane comes up that says not avsilable in this country yet.
anyone else have this problem ??
How do u work around this or fix the problem ??
I am having the same issue stating App is not available in USA.
Hi Nancy, should we write to PBS asking for help with an app for our android device? I saw on other comments you stated that they are working on one. I love all of your programs I have built up my confidence and learned so much. I really enjoy the absolute easiest serious. Thanks again TJ
As always apple not android wondering why as android is the VAST majority. I will either do without our wait, per usual, as I still believe android is the better unit. ..praying for you Nancy!
Waiting for Android as well.
Is it a purchased CD to do the “in the hoop crazy patch”?
Yes, the CD of embroidery designs is included with the book.
Jeanne, You can create crazy patch quilting using the decorative stitches on any sewing machine. However, if you have an embroidery machine, Eileen Roche has simplified the process. Her 80-page book includes a multiformat CD that features 23 embroidery designs: three different block designs, 12 accent designs, and eight designs to complete three in-the-hoop projects.

Would like to order the sew amazing scarfs book
Nancy, I really wish this was available for Android.
An Android app will soon be on the way. PBS is working on it!
Always love what Nancy creates. I get a lot of satisfaction creating something on my sewing/embroidery machine.
Nancy, I love your show. I always record it just in case I am not at home at the time it aires. I love the tablet and phone holders. I can hardly wait to create one for me!
Please direct me to help with PBS App…cannot find Sewing With Nancy. Would love the opportunity to watch/sew. Thanks, Patty
Patty, please try again and then write me at [email protected] for help with the app. http://www.nancyzieman.com/blog/sewing-with-nancy/sewing-with-nancy-ap-ipad-ipod-or-iphone/
The review for the App dated Aug. 14 says it still crashes soI did not download although that was originally my intent.
We will wait for an Android application to be developed. Please remember your Android audience is larger than the Apple IOS and growing. Thank you for over 30 years of dedication to your loyal followers. We enjoy every educational and tip opportunity that you bring to us!
Please, please – make an app for my android as well. Thank you.
When I followed your instructions for my iPhone, I pressed ‘more’ like you said. However, the choices given to me were Donate; Shop: PBS.org: Parents: Teachers: KIDS, not Settings. Any help would be much appreciated. Linda
Android please!!!
thanks, Nancy. My station no longer shows your programs and I have really missed your shows. Now I can catch up on my Ipad!!!
Where or when can I get the app for my Surface or Nokia Windows Phone?
Android please
Another vote for Android!
I’m another android user who is eagerly awaiting the development of an app for android tablets. Hope it won’t be long.
Yea! I am so excited to have this app. THANK YOU
Hi Nancy…where is an app for android
Hi Shula,
Unfortunately, PBS has not developed an app for androids as of yet. I’ll let you know when this happens. Thanks for your patience. NZ
thanks sew much for all the extras that you do! I look forward all the new ways to improve my sewing… love it!!
I vote for an android app too. I would love to be able to watch it on the go, but don’t have an iPhone or iPad.
Here’s a trick for Kindle users. I couldn’t get the show off the app. But if you go to the web and type in Nancyzieman.com up will come the website and just click on “Watch Online” all the episodes come up. Hope that helps.
For my Iphone I went to the app store and searched PBS (it was the first PBS to come up (there are several) I think it said PBS entertainment. From there I went to Programs. Scroll down until you see Sewing with Nancy. Voila, it was there. Thank you so much Nancy. In my south Jersey/Philadelphia area the show came on Channel 257 YARTS. Now it has disappeared. Why is this? I thought show was on hiatus. If wasn’t for your emails we would have never known we can see it on our electronic devices. Thank you again!!
I buy a lot of your products and love them. I see you have an app for an iPad. Will you ever have one that is good in Canada?
Thanks
Bonnie
Just loaded the app for my new IPad. Thanks so much for the walk through for this new IPad user.
Thank you so much for sharing all of this wonderful information on embroidering/sewing. The PBS app for my ipad will be so handy ~ I can watch episodes multiple times until a particular technique sinks in. (I own a Bernina Artista 730 w/digitizing software and have become completely overwhelmed with learning to sew.) Now I feel like I have my own personal teacher as close as my ipad. I’m excited about learning to sew again!
I’m so excited to try these adorable doll clothes! I, too learned to sew making doll clothes for my Shirley Temple doll, and made doll clothes for my daughter’s dolls, too. However, the techniques and fashion of these clothes are in a different league!
This is so awesome – thanks for letting us learn over and over where ever we are. It will come in handy too when you’re at your machine and trying to remember what you showed us and are not hear a DVR/Television!
I eagerly await this for Android phones! Local PBS doesn’t air the show at a time I can watch.
I’d also love to buy the books on Kindle or Zinio.
Does this work with the Kindle Fire??
I love the app but wish the iPad would have true iPad performance to use the large screen without having to press the 2x, which makes it a little blurry. I was surprised because I clicked where it said for iPad users to click to download it,
Seems odd that we do get Sewing With Nancy on our local PBS stations but we don’t list it. I tried my daughters’ zipcodes and it isn’t listed with their local PBS station programs either. I only find it using the 54481 for the Wisconsin PBS, which I believe is Nancy’s local PBS.
Love being able to see thwm in my iPad. Will free DVT space because I have been recording them! This show is wonderful!
At this link you can check for dates and times of Sewing With Nancy:

There is a true iPad app for PBS. The problem is that the link that’s labeled for iPad users actually goes to the iPod one. Try searching in the app store.
I just found you and so glad I did! Love watching your tips!
Also an Android user. How about an android app for the rest of us. Thanks
How can I get it for my Blackberry!
Works great on my iPhone and very easy to install. Now the problem is finding time to follow through on all the creative ideas. Certainly no time to be bored!
I got very excited about this – but then itunes spoilt my day. It’s only available in the US. Hopefully one day your British fans will get to see too.
Yes, you’re right, only the US has the first rights to the program. Maybe it will change! Sorry.
Sure wish it was available for the Android
It does not work heer in Germany. Rallye sad.
Anita,
PBS in the United States has exclusive rights to the program for the first two years. As you have experienced, the app does not work outside the US.
Thank you so much, Nancy! I just installed it on my iPad and am thrilled.
I hate to ask stupid questions, but where do I get eh app? Went to the app store and my search shows they don’t have it. What am I doing wrong, please?
Please follow the instructions within the blog on how to download the app. Since we’re still in the trial stage, there are a few more steps than usual. But, I am sure if you follow the numbered steps, you’ll be set to watch Sewing With Nancy on an iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone.
This is terrific! I cannot wait to watch on my iPad!
I just watched an episode on my iPad and it worked perfectly. Thank you for making it possible. This app will come in handy for long airplane flights!
