It's hard to pick only one article though, as they all seem very interesting. And the dress on the cover is lovely!
I wish I could find your magazine in the newsstands in my country!

Having just gone through the pain of modifying my dress form so I could use it to craft my daughter's wedding dress, I am sure this will be a useful article. But I am holding my breath for Sewing with Stripes". I love the idea of creating architectural drama with "just" stripes.

I made the Koos on the bias tube scarf out of a pack of Bali batik strips and it came out very well and very colorful. Your sewing projects help me with building a skills set because the interpretation of the instructions -- spacially and physically -- are often hard to see immediately, but become clearer with time. It was a challenge I really enjoyed and many people loved the scarf! Looking forward to the new issue.

I would absolutely love to win this copy, why, to read the article by Kenneth D King...............that would be such a wonderful addition to the other superb tips and techniques I have gained from Threads magazine and its contributors over the years.
Not a subscriber for the moment, so it would be a real treat........

Threads has been my favorite magazine for years. It's one that I actually read. I guess if I had to pick just one it would have to be "Fit for Everyone". I love reading and working on getting things to fit right. Also, the "Engineered Stripes" looks real interesting and I love making plackets on my shirts. Well, as you can tell, I would enjoy the magazine.

The Bias Skirt (always have trouble with bias), easy mending techniques, products for stabilizing seams and I could go on to mention the others, but I will just have to wait and see.
I have always dreamed of having a dressform even still I would love to read how to use one for different sizes.
