pickingtulips writes: This may sound a bit naive. But i just received a new sewing machine for christmas a machine that does everything including the dishes and so i am starting a huge new learning curve after using a machine that is over 40 years old. I know that sergers make your life so much easier but I DON"T KNOW HOW or if they are worth buying right now after gettting a fabulous new machine so I can't wait to read the article on "SERGEING SECRETS" to see if its something that I should still be looking at getting and if it will really enhance my sewing.
Posted: 4:30 pm on February 11th

SherrySews writes: I think I would be most interested in the article "Copy That. Trace the fit of your favorite sleeve and darts." I am always looking for techniques that allow me to reuse good fit from existing items. I think that this magazine would be another of those 'cover to cover' reads! Lots of good information packed into a few pages, I am sure!

DesignerExtraordinar writes: I am a Wedding Dress designer and creator (meaning I sew my own designs) and I am teaching myself to paint on fabric. Your article, "Painted Lace.

Eyelets, piecing, serging and sewing machine tips -- always useful!
This looks like an excellent issue.
I have been a Threads subscriber for many years now, and I am very happy to see the renewed interest in sewing in the youngest generations of sewers.

IreneR writes: I think the Threads magazine is the best sewing mag. on the market. It gives great couture info and always has inspirational articles. We need more magazines like Threads. Too many others are too simple, like telling us how to make a pillow. I have been sewing for years and appreciate articles, and inspiration for experienced sewers.

Stellar machine features might be one, since I am in the market for a new machine, and they are so so advanced now. Same with serger secrets. I had a serger once and only knew how to serge my ends, never took it beyond that. But oh, the make it your way sounds like something I would love as well. Sigh.

whoneedlesthis writes: I am thinking couture know how, how to trim a neckline would be my most interesting article, whether it means how to correctly trim the seam allowances under the facing, or how to add trim to make a neckline more attractive.

muddog writes: I love most of the articles in this magazine. I would like to try the lace top and the three different looks from one pattern. I always learn things from this magazine and either tear out specific articles that I want to keep or keep an entire magazine if it is full of articles I can apply routinely. We do not have access to any sewing magazines in this area (to buy over the counter) and I miss that very much. Once we have a permanent address I will definitely be subscribing.

Neosha writes: Make It Your Way appeals to me the most. When I first started sewing I would purchase one Vogue pattern and make it as many ways as possible. I couldn't afford to buy more patterns. I still like to get one pattern to fit and then use time and again. It would be interesting to see how designers do this.

anniebananie writes: That is a very hard question to answer. I've been researching sewing machines, so the timing on the article on stellar features is stellar for me. Likewise, my sister just gave me some antique lace, and I've been pondering what to do with it. I have a serger, but haven't really used it. Yesterday I was bemoaning the fact that my wardrobe is a mismash of unrelated items. This issue will end up in my library one way or another.

msewwhat writes: There is sooooo much in this magazine that appeals to me! With Spring just around the corner I am planning to sew several pairs of capris from a store bought pattern. Looking forward to "Denim Detail" giving me some inspiration in the creation of my new capris. The "Express Pocket" may be just the extra detail I need to make my capris couture perfect! I hope to use "Easy Ease" to help me get a well fitted look by altering the "ease" in the patterns for a better fit. I always look for more efficient ways to use my sewing machine so "Stellar Machine Features" is definitely on my list. I am looking forward to getting some tips on how to best use my rotary cutter with, "Get on a Roll." "Serging Secrets" will give me some tips on using my serger in more creative ways. I have always wanted to "copy cat" a pattern which I hope to finally learn in "Copy That."
I have been scouring my local fabric shop, Fry's magazine rack and others for this magazine to no avail. I would use every article in it and make you proud!

Most of the articles are of interest to me. Serger Secrets and Make It Your Way are the ones I would read first.

I tried to subscribe to it when it first came out and that was cancelled due to it only coming out occasionally. I have visited 3 different cities in Ontario and gone to various venues which sell Magazines without any luck. So all I can say is "It is a great Magazine". I think I have all the magazines since it began. I have been a subscriber to Threads for quite a few years as well.

For example, I just discovered a beautiful overcast stitch to use on seam edges of a linen tunic. It was a real time saver because I didn't have to stop and rethread my serger to finish them. "Stellar Machine Features" would be the first article I'd read!

I have always cut all my fabric with my highly protected sewing scissors (woe to he whose mind it crosses to use them on anything but fabric). Recently, my ever-so-fabuloso hubby bought me a sewing table, complete with cutting mat, and rotary cutter. ( Told you he was fabulous). I have trouble cutting anything other than straight lines, and lets face it, most of us women need a few curves in our clothing. So a few tips ( or more) from this article would be appreciated, and well, needed.
