Re: Enter to Win a One-Year Subscription to Threads!

Who doesn't love to win? I would love to win a free one year subscription. That would be one less bill to pay.

Re: How to Sew a Blind Hem

Great video, and I've looked at a lot to try and figure this out. This video shows exactly what I need. My purchased pants have the seam binding on them, so this literally shows exactly what I needed to know. The only small wish I have is that your videos were posted to YouTube, so I could subscribe to them or save them in my account for future reference. It's impossible to remember all the places where I run into really helpful videos. If they were posted to YouTube it would be so simple to find them again when I need them. Thanks much.

Re: Book and DVD Giveaway: Claire B. Shaeffer's "Couture Sewing: Tailoring Techniques"

I would love to learn any couture sewing technique. I don't know any. I'm just a beginning sewer. Reading all I can and watching lots of online videos.

Re: Magazine Giveaway: Sew Home

Oh where do I start. My home was built in the 80's and has never been updated. It needs gutting and starting over.

Re: Mega Quilt Giveaway

The only quilting I've ever done was to make quilted fabric from some cotton fabric to use in a class I took. We made a quilted overnight bag. I want to learn to make quilts and have been reading magazines and blogs to learn how. Thanks for the opportunity to try and win.

Re: Magazine Giveaway: "Threads" Issue #165 (February/March 2013)

I do love hand stitching, but I can't say I do very much. I am not very good at sewing so I don't make very many things. I'm hoping to take some classes this spring to become better. I am a voracious reader, but I find hands on work to be a better learning tool for me.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Quilt Love"

I don't have any quilting books. This would be great to own. Thanks for the giveaway.

Re: DVD GIVEAWAY: Industry Insider Techniques with Louise Cutting Volumes 1-4

These DVDs look terrific and would be such a great help. I have so much to learn. I haven't really been doing much sewing because I don't know enough to start projects, or complete them for that matter. It's hard to learn on one's own without any guideance. I would love to win. Thanks for thet giveaway.

Re: Giveaway: SewStylish Spring 2012 Fashion Sewing Guide

Stellar Machine Features would be of interest to me. I don't know much about my machine. All I really do it straight stitches. I have many feet and don't know what to do with any of them.

Re: Patterns for Three Apron Styles

Thanks KarenHM. That's what I thought. Hopefully somebody makes rolls that are 45 inches wide. That would surely be better than piecing all those 8.5 x 11 sheets together. Thanks for your help.

Re: Patterns for Three Apron Styles

How do I make the pattern from an 8.5 x 11 sheet? Do I look for a large roll of graph paper and try to recreate the pattern by drawing what I see in each of the tiny squares on the document I downloaded from your website? I'm sorry, but I just don't understand how to use your pattern.

Re: DVD GIVEAWAY: Threads Magazine Archive, 1985-2011

What a wonderful giveaway. I can honestly say I've never watched Project Runway or any of the other reality-type shows. They are just not interesting to me. But I would love to learn more about sewing. I'm not very good yet. Thanks much.

Re: MAGAZINE GIVEAWAY: "Quick Stuff to Sew"

I'm just learning to sew. I won't be making any gifts just yet. I've enjoyed looking around the website and have already learned a few things. Thanks for the contest.
