If you need to fix fillets, like Adam displayed in his video, you can use the fillet tool to do face fillets that will bridge the intersection of faces where two fillets intersect. Then you don't need to sketch anything.

^This. In my organization, sketch fillets are extremely discouraged. 3D fillets are more robust and can be suppressed in order to simplify the model in large assemblies.
The options in SolidWorks for 3D fillets makes it so almost all situations can be handled with a 3D fillet. Also, the hidden line selection option makes it so selecting a bunch of short line segments in, let's say, a sheet metal part with lightening holes for filleting very easy.
