srgreene writes: This is SUCH a great giveaway. I stopped sewing for years, but I continued purchasing Threads Magazine, because the information in it is so valuable. Now I'm ready to get sewing, but my daughter, who is encouraging me to pare down wants me to discard all my Threads Magazines and I did mention that now you can get the whole collection in a digital format. I don't know how I feel about that, but hunting through each year's index for an article is getting old. So the collection would be WONDERFUL!

Skiptoo writes: I am new to sewing... so new that I haven't sewn my first project yet. I have spent weeks at the THREADS site, reading articles and learning as much as I can so that I don't make as many newbie mistakes once I do sit down to cut my first pattern. Even if I don't win the giveaway I would like everyone to know that the postings and information that your sewing community has provided are invaluable to someone like me, who wants to learn. I have already learned so much from all of you. But...I would still love to have the DVD set!!!

Thanks Everyone!
Skiptoo!

I refer to Threads for just about every project I attempt, whether it's something simple like seam finishes or something more complicated like a tailored collar.

DrivesSewMachBest writes: I have this ever so valuable volume of THREADS magazines on CD's. My intention in submitting my request to be considered as a winner is for my sister, Nancy. She sews, but her garments are less than fashionable and hardly correctly put together. She needs to LEARN from the experts! I can think of no better way for her to learn than for her to peruse a technological device. If something rubs off, then it will be to the benefit of all who are embarassed but feel compelled to wear her "creations". (She knows a lot about sewing, but is sloppy with zippers, unknowledgeable about plackets,etc., things that are obvious.....)

chanderickson writes: Hello.
I am new to sewing. Like many in my generation, I never learned to sew at home. sewing was something that was taught in home ec that i thought was boring and useless.
If i wanted clothes, i could go shopping and i have endless choices. However, some things that i realized was that when you take into account fit, color and sizing, the choices aren't as great as it first seems. I realized that the only way to get the best fit, style and color i want, was to make the clothes myself.
I am self taught but also got the Learn to sew DVD from threads in order to cover all the basics. I have learned that sewing is a fantastic art form that gives me so much joy and satisfaction. I don't know how i ever got through life without this skill.

love to receive the archive DVD. Today just happens to be my birthday too. What a great present that would make!

iris68 writes: Hello, Thread!
I am a returning sew-er. Every time I go to library or at the store, I always check the magazines. Really love it. The only thing... I am a little timid to starts sewing again - in 20 years there are so much new supply/fabric/you-name-it on the market and in technology.
I slowly started building up my sewing room. Good thing - I have a toddler and can practice sewing for her first.
Your giveaway might give me so much needed confidence and knowledge.
Thank you.

I found fabric to match the shoes and made a large floribundas which I tacked to a black satin cluch purse. I also cut down a gown I wore to my son's wedding and made a smaller flower which I attached to the bodice. Both received rave reviews.

Now that I am wiser and dare I say older, I am back to sewing for pure creativity and pleasure. I would treasure each and every book and would read them cover to cover. I am a new subscriber to Threads and anxiously wait for each issue to arrive.

I've only rediscovered sewing this year, and have been totally blown away by the issues of "threads" that come every month. Truly the best value magazine out available! The quick referencing would certainly help to find articles without loosing too much sewing/learning time searching through the magazines.
Not to mention having access to all those legendary "sold out" issues too, as well as saving so much space in my sewing corner that I could fill with fabric and notions instead?
Bliss :D

Kathleen_Edmonton writes: As I teach my Granddaughter to sew, I am careful to show her short cuts that I have read or developed without compromising her sewing - and enthusiasum. We often look up a project or how to in the magazines that I have but it is very time consuming.We have discussed how much we could use the DVD's. I very much want to foster her creativity and her desire to sew.These magazines on DVD's are the perfect way to do it. I would very much like them to help foster this new found joy in this young 9 year old sewer. I believe that it will also assist her with some independence in regards to her sewing.
We would very much like to have them to share.
I personally find that I use them for my reference guide too. How great it would be to get rid of the magazines while I am downsizing. We often take our machines to each others houses and how great it would be to have access to the archives of the magazinesfor tips, projects and hints on my laptop. Wen really would love this gift.

I have a sat down on the floor with all my magazines spread around me flipping through each one looking for that ONE ARTICLE that I remember was exactly what I needed to reference mid sewing project.The archive is a brilliant solution to the hunting and flipping that all we Threads fans are reduced to !

I want it ! I want it!

Frankly, I'd prefer to have the actual copies of the magazines (I'm old-fashioned that way)but people are hanging ON to them, looks like, since I have only very RARELY see an old Threads in a thrift store (and I grabbed it right away!)

We were blessed with a place to live away from home and we are slowly getting things back together.

I would love love love to have the CD so I could relish in the plethora of information I once poured over. Even though almost every woman here learns to sew, they lack fine sewing techniques which I am asked about frequently. I would use so much of the information to help these dear ladies pump up their sewing quality by leaps and bounds.

I even bought a lap top computer so I can puruse the magazine anywhere I care to take the computer, even to bed with me. I taught myself to sew when I was a young bride 59 years ago and needed maternity clothes and we were living on a Staff Sergeant's monthly allotment. Santa brought me a Pfaff 130 for Christmas. We made monthly payments of $12.00. All my three children's clothes were made on that machine and I mean ALL! I though I was proficiente at sewing, but I have learned so much more from my Threads collection than I ever thought possible. The DVD collection must go to someone who doesen't already own one. That Pfaff machine went all over the world with me and I will not part with it. However, I at the age of 80, am pursuing a new sewing learning curve because Santa left a Bernina 830 under the tree--this time with NO monthly payments.

This DVD would help me in this venture as well as provide me with an abundance of knowledge and quick references.

Hauling all those magazines is not easy, storing them is becoming an issue also. I really don't want to give them up, I do refer back to them and love looking through them. A DVD sounds like an ideal solution to me.

theonlysuz writes: I am the daughter of a European designer who had her own boutique from the age of 17. When we were forced to become refugees her sewing supported us and saved us. Eventually we ended up in Canada and my mother started a small factory where I worked every day after school and on weekends. We worked seven days a week. I learned a lot about cutting threads and pressing but not about couture sewing as she used to do in the old country. I wasn't allowed near the machines then. Later, she taught me the some pattern making and constructing basic clothes: shirts, pants etc. This was before we had machines that could do anything but sew straight forward, although we did have sergers at the factory. When I was 15 we got our green cards to the U.S. which was always her dream and we became naturalized citizens 5 years later.

When I found Threads (only last year!) I was amazed at the detailed knowledge that was available. Not only am I too old and somewhat disabled to go back to school, but they don't teach this kind of sewing in the sewing classes offered in this rural area where I live. So Threads has been my teacher. I bought as many back issues as I could afford.

At our local resale shop I have been been doing minor alterations as a volunteer service to the owner and to the customers. Most people will just leave if something isn't perfect and so they won't buy even for a few dollars. This has become so successful that the owner is offering to give me a corner to set up a sewing center so that I can do the work while customers watch and they can walk out with a garment they can wear immediately. Hopefully they will learn something as well. Most don't think they can even sew on a button, much less take up a hem or do minor adjustments to take in a garment fit better. I'm talking simple, simple things, even using just a needle and thread.

Recently we found out that my husband has a disease with no treatment and no cure. This is very scary as we have been married 47 years. We have to move to a smaller place closer to our only child and his wife and baby. We can't take all of our furniture, much less our books and other bulky items. If I could write a letter to Santa I would ask for the Threads DVD set and hope he listens. I can offer good cookies and milk! Sorry this was so long but it is a complicated story.

Threads became my teacher and with every issue, my knowledge and love for sewing has expanded. As a self taught sewer (who is still learning!), Threads has inspired me to consider starting a sewing business which will also involve teaching sewing so that I can share the passion. I have saved every magazine and constantly refer back to them for the techniques to use in new projects and also for the numerous projects and ideas for inspiration.

I have continued my subscription to Threads not only for the pleasure it brings, but as a way of keeping a little of Rita with me. I'm retired now and am now picking up my sewing, determined to grow my skill instead of just dream about it. When I'm sewing I feel very close to my Rita (what I called her) and my Mom, even though Mom's been gone for over 20 years now.

Sewing2enjoying writes: I absolutely adore the very helpful information in Threads Magazines. Since my hubby lost his job and I am unable to subscribe to magazines any longer, I have trouble finding up to date information on how to do things when I am sewing and mending for others. I have a library of older and even very much older books about sewing and even on tailoring, but I know there are easier and better methods I can discover in Threads Magazine. Some of my library does not even touch on the subject of sergers since they were not even invented when the books were printed. I could certainly benefit from the magazine collection and so could the people I sew and mend for. I can only imagine how wonderful it would be to have all that professional information and instruction as well as great ideas in one terrific library of Threads Magazines. Thank you for the very exciting offer.

Threads always excites me and I can hardly wait to get it in from the mailbox. The last time it arrived, I only got as far as the front porch before sitting down to pour through it. Thank you so much!

When I discovered Threads I fell in love instantly I could not believe there was a magazine dedicated entirely to the very thing I am so passionate about. Threads has given me so many ideas and taken my sewing skills to a whole new level. I wait anxiously for each new issue and read it cover to cover. Having the entire collection at my fingertips would just make it that much better.

However, I also appreciate how helpful it would be to have all of the Threads magazines in an easily searchable format that I can reference at home, in the classroom, or while traveling. Winning the Threads archive would be the best of both worlds, as I would be able to preserve my loved but tattered collection of Threads magazines for posterity (and someday donate to our local library), and still be able to share the great techniques and knowledge they contain with my students and colleagues. Thanks for your consideration (and how lovely it would be to win!)

nanasue writes: I will never forget my first issue of Threads, Feb/Mar 1991, featuring "Making A Kilt" on the cover. I just knew that I would need that knowledge some day. I kept it and each subsequent issue close to where I sew because I was now connected with so many wonderful projects and sewing lessons that would influence my creativity. I did not have a formal education in the sewing arts and first learned by reading the instructions that come with patterns.
I have read and reread Threads leaving book marks where I needed to return. It was not so much tedious as a futile effort to go back and locate articles because it too often lead to detouring through other things that again caught my interest. It would be great to have the collection on DVD to be able to find them more easily. And I did use the info from my first issue; I altered and hemmed a kilt recently, all 7 yards of it!

Now I have a nearly complete collection going back to issue 5. And honestly, even if I won the DVD, I'd still always be carrying a few well-thumbed magazines; they go with me everywhere!

For example, I will be sitting at home pondering how to solve a construction problem when it will hit me that I have an old Threads with the answer I am looking for. I also teach an after-school program and often get caught with a sewing situation. With the disks at my disposal the students would not have to wait for me to go home or on the internet to find our way out of our situation. I know that Threads will have the most efficient and professional solution.

Having the DVD would also allow me to not have to thumb through the many Thread's magazines on my bookshelf, to get the same information; although having the magazine would still be a needed item, so that I can take the magazine with me in times that do not allow me to access the DVD (riding the subway or bus). In addition to the ease of accessing the DVD information it would be much easier to actually see the process being applied by play the DVD portion and being able to repeat the playing part as necessary to ensure that I see the process for completing the task.
Finally, the convenience of all the back issues on a DVD is a invaluable way to ensure one central location for the information. This is like Christmas come early!!

jerril writes: The DVD is not only a great resource it's also a time saver. when you're in a middle of a project, do you really have time to search all your back issues to find that technique or answer you need "right now"? Can't think of a better way to find all the information you want about sewing. One can not only search a specific topic,technique or author but also search all the articles pertaining to what you're looking for. It could take quite awhile to go through all of your back issues to find exactly the article you need.

At first it was a Christmas gift subscription, then I started paying for it myself. I still have all the copies. Now I have reached the time in my life that I will have to start downsizing and I don't mind giving up my worldly possessions except my sewing things. If I had a DVD set, I would not mind passing the back issues of my Threads Magazine on to an interested young woman who can continue to enjoy them and I will have the DVD set which would take up less space and I can continue to enjoy my Threads. Thank you, Mistress

It has been very helpful.

The multi-issue DVD should be their creative fashion go-to "bible." Although Viktor played it somewhat safe the last contest, I believe he would be a designer the majority of women would buy. Threads -- keep up the good work. I look forward to my issues for years to come.

However, I have been a subscriber since near the beginning of the magazine. If I had not had to move 7 times in the last 23 years, I would still have all those old issues. This disk has had me lusting for it the past year or so - just haven't had the extra moola on hand for it. I started sewing at 10 and went back to school for a degree in Fashion Design at 49. All that experience helped me get high grades, but jobs in the industry in the US are hard to get. I ended up dealing in vintage clothing, as well as designing and making custom hats. Both require a good deal of sewing. Still find time to sew for myself now and then. Would love to have this wonderful DVD to reference!

Besides, my bookshelf is getting crowded and I could use the room.

I look at this pattern, or this idea or dream about all the patterns in my stash.

I've studied for 2 years, and wanted to work in that area, but this is difficult these days, as everything is made in China. I was passionnate at all my courses at college. I'd really like to work in that area in my retreat. I am now working in Desjardins, however it would be my dream to be able to be full time working on sewing & patternmaking. And yes, I'd need this DVD Threads magazine Archives. This would be a tremendous tool for me. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to win at this giveway. France Houde

KayGV writes: I would love to have the DVD version of Threads to use with my refugee sewing students. Many of them are visual learners who want to work from the inspiration of a well photographed, completed garment through the steps that make it a reality. It is especially helpful to have the expert articles on tailoring, since a few students aspire to this kind of work for local companies and retail stores. I also help with fund raising for our non-profit agency, Iskashitaa Sewing and Crafting Circle, so having the complete list of vendors would help me identify likely contributors to our projects and to meet the needs of these genuinely needy new Americans! I hope Threads can help, too, by awarding a copy of the DVD Archive. Thank you for your consideration!

When I talk sewing to other people, I find that I put more time and am pickier than the folks I find to talk to. Surprise, not everyone's mom could sew -- let alone sew well.

I have had a subscription to Threads for nearly 10 years. I subscribed the day I ran across it. I would be really happy to have the reference of the previous years. It would help me stay as picky as mom was. :-)

Thank you for the opportunity.

I have spent more time teaching younger people how to sew than sewing myself in the last couple of decades, as a costumer in community theater.

Well, at 52 I am about to remarry and move into a house with my new husband, and my mom who is now 90! And we will have room to sew. So I came here to see what was up and start day dreaming about a sewing room...! A DVD would be a wonderful thing. Crossing fingers and toes!

I would love to have all past issues on DVD in order to expand my creativity and knowledge on sewing. I think it is great that there is such a magazine that caters to those who still know how to sew or have the desire to keep learning more about it! This is a dying art and I love that Threads keeps the interest in it! :)

My favorite article was describing using iron-on tape to finish a garment edge-inspiring to use an Ellen Tracey double-sided velour in my stash! I have been able to help a friend with her pants fitting problems. Am always looking for sewing tips that are new or forgotten from the past! Always read the magazine from cover to cover--NEVER do that with any others!
Threads IS the best magazine for sewing information and inspiration available today.

My daughter is now a young adult and loves vintage-look dresses and I would like to try mu hand at some clothes for her as well as trying to refurbish/redesign old clothes.

Thanks Threads for all your help.

Ladyripsalot writes: Huge sewing library, but can't always find what I need. Threads Mag has always been my go-to source. With the DVD, I can give away all these books. Think of the extra space I'll get for more fabric, more thread.

I have just renewed my subscription for 3 more years after my inaugural year subscription. I learn something from every issue. Just imagine if I had TWENTY-SIX YEARS of issues to learn from. Yes, I would love to own the Threads Archives DVD and my husband wouldn't be mad at me for having a bzillion magazines stored in my sewing area .

I always looked forward to the time when I would retire and have time to sew but now find myself with much less space and money. It would save me going to my sons to look up articles in the heavy boxes of my Threads magazines. Also since I have mastered the computer in later years, what a joy it would be to be able to type in a phrase and find that article I remembered in Threads. Thank you for putting these on disk ...what a great service for all of us!

Now I have the 3 boxes cluttering the toilet (either that or the living room) and I can never find the proper magazine I want.... Sigh, maybe they should go ..... I'd LOVE to win the DVD!

The good news is that nowadays, the online communities and resources I've stumbled on are so inspiring and motivating and instructive. You never have to sew alone or in the dark. Thank you Threads for being a part of this brave new "sewist" universe.

It is so wonderful that Taunton produces this archive so that we could reference issues from the past, even ones that are out of print! Threads is the number one magazine for garment sewing techniques, and I would love to have this DVD.

Sew4Sanity writes: I lost all but one of my sewing machines when our home was flooded during Hurricane Floyd's passing through in 1999. We had to fight to get our insurance company to pay out on our flood insurance. I acted as our lawyer. Beteeen the lawsuit and rebuilding, it was 5 years before we moved back home.

As a result, I haven't sewn a thing since that September dsy. We lost all but a few possessions in that flood, including my sewing magazines, patterns and fanric. If I won this, I could replace all the issues of Threads I had. I love Threads and, before the flood. I bought it all the time. I can't remember if I subscribed though.

Hope I win!
