Thanks, Alice

I have sewn for a very long time, and not with any precision, until the last two years. Now I am so interested in making all of my items to a higher standard. Most of the people whose blogs I frequent always speak of something they have learned from Threads Magazine and it is always helpful to me. I'm sure that having a one-year subscription would only improve my sewing and increase my enjoyment of the craft.
The techniques in Threads have helped me make my daughter's wedding dress -- with matching parasol -- which she designed. It was long a dream of mine to make her dress and to help make her day perfect. (The dress is seen in my profile picture.) I've found, over the years, that each tip and technique is clearly and carefully described and illustrated so they are successful for me as a reader. Kudos. I'd love a free year of Threads.
Would love a year's subscription. Love the tips and ideas!
I would love to win a subscription. I'm constantly turning to Threads for tips, hints and tutorials!
Threads is the magazine for my kind of sewing. I'd love to win a subscription!
I've enjoyed the threads magazines that I've read, and I would love to win a subscription. There is always so much great info in them!
I would love to read the articles and tips. I want to be able to sew thing that look handmade, not homemade!
I would like to amp up my sewing machine use. Can't think of a better way than to get inspired by Threads!
I have heard so many good things about being a Threads insider but have yet to join. I would love this opportunity to expand my sewing skills.
Learning how to do things properly rather than winging it will help me improve. Thanks
I need a jolt of inspiration and I'm a former Threads subscriber who wants to get back her passion for sewing. I taught myself to sew when I was 13 - that was over 50 years ago!!
If it's in the mailbox, Threads gets read first!
I love Threads! And I'd love a free year of Threads!
I would love to win the subscription. There is so much more I have to learn and I know the magazine would help me to grow.
I'm a beginner sewer and I know that in order to gain experience, I need to push myself to work on projects that are challenging. This magazine will give me the confidence I need. Thanks for the chance to win.

As soon as I can get my hands on the latest issue of Threads I sit down and read it from cover to cover. There's always something that inspires me and something new to learn. A whole year's subsrciption would be wonderful.
I'm relatively new to sewing, and am self-taught, so I would love to learn more and Threads is definitely a great way to do that!
I enjoy reading Threads. It has inspired me to stretch my skills and try new techniques.
I've been away from sewing for a few years, but have a renewed interest. I watched a few episodes of It's Sew Easy TV and realize how many things have changed and I simply don't remember. I believe a subscription to Threads Magazine will help get me restarted creating with my machines. I purchased one issue and enjoyed it so much!
I would love the chance to win a 1 year subscription to Threads to improve my sewing knowledge and garment construction, thanks :)
After 40 years away from sewing clothes for myself, I am now jumping back in. I discovered your magazine a year ago and just love it. It helps me with fitting, sewing techniques as well as artistic ideas to use with fabric, zippers, etc. Would love a free year of Threads!
Rather have the paper copy than the digital.
There's always something new to learn from Threads.
I've learned many techniques from your magazine and would love to win a renewal subscription. thanks Rita
Yes please - I would absolutely love to be the recipient of this give-away.
I have subscribed to, and loved, Threads almost since its beginning. Last year I got the DVD of all the magazines and thought I'd re-home the print magazines. NOT! Can't give up the printed versions :-) I learn something with every issue!
Please, pretty please, pick me. I need a boost in my sewing life! Threads is the best sewing magazine for all levels.
I would love to win a subscription so that I can learn more about garment construction. Thank you!
I have taught myself to sew over the years. It is such a fun activity that is a challenge in itself. I love it when I finish a product and it looks great. Your magazine is filled with such neat ideas on how to enhance or add embellishments to clothing or other accessories. I love the way you show new techniques and how they can be used. There are also new products that you show that may be helpful with the sewing that one does. Thank you for putting out such a great magazine.
I would love a years subscription of Threads! That would,be so fun!
I've purchased Threads magazine through the years and still have every one! I can always find something in each issue that gets my attention, answers my questions, or just becomes a reference book. I've got post-its flagging great articles that I just can't part with. To have my own subscription would be a dream! I've been a sewing for over 50 years and still love it!
A subscription to Threads would be awesome - learning, entertainment, inspiration. It would be devoured to the last page.
Threads is my favorite magazine - I always learn something with each issue that comes out.
I want to get back into sewing and I know how execellent your Fine Homebuilding and Fine Gardening magazines are. I know Threads will be equally inspiring!
I used to subscribe but unfortunately had to let my subscription expire. I love the magazine, though - would love to get another year!
Who doesn't love to win? I would love to win a free one year subscription. That would be one less bill to pay.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win if I do...will love it!
I have been wanting to get a subscription to Threads but it has been so hard lately I keep telling myself later later. Have been having problems anyway and then my DH gets hit with cancer. It just blow us and any extras we wanted in the far future. So I need Threads Magazine to have something to look forward too that I know I will enjoy! Donna Rae
I would love to win a subscription to Threads as I know it would help me be a better sewer.
I would love a subscription to your magazine! Pick me! :)
I love to sew and have been doing it for years. Threads is the one sewing magazine that always has something for me to learn! I would love to have a subscription.
I'm newly retired and have a brand new sewing machine. Now I'm ready to update after years with no time to sew. I have many ideas and am keen to learn new techniques and products. I would love a subscription to Threads.
I really like threads. I used to have a subscription, but had to cut back expenses, and I've missed your inspiration. That's why I'd like to win a year's subscription.
I love threads! Even though I learned to sew at a very young age from my mother (who worked as a professional seamstress), I learn a new technique or become reacquainted with an old one with every issue. Since my husband has been unemployed for a while, I was considering not renewing to save the bit of money. Winning a year subscription would be heaven for me!
I have returned to sewing after years off. I am devouring every issue, your magazine archive and the insider information. Would love to have a free subscription.
When my Threads magazine arrives in the mail, I take the time almost immediately to sit down and read it. There is so many interesting and rewarding tips and ideas that this magazine has. I would truly enjoy a free year's subscription.
I was offered a subscription to Threads, but I got so much information from your email newsletter and your online articles, I figured I had enough but... You have so many insider articles and perks that are only a available to subscribers, I'm ready now for a subscription. Threads covers so much of what I do and what I want to learn!
What I learn, I share with others; at the cut table where I work and with my friends and family.
Thank you for the opportunity! I would be grateful to win!

I love THREADS Magazine! I have been a subscriber and have every issue ever published--that makes me loyal reader for almost 30 years. It would be lovely to be rewarded for that loyalty with a free subscription :o))
Threads is the one-and-only magazine that I find worthwhile subscribing to. I own my own business as a seamstress, and although I've been sewing for 25+ years, I always learn something new from Threads. It's an invaluable partner in my sewing business. Whenever I need to re-visit a technique or find a way to improve upon my sewing skills, Threads is my go-to source every time.
I would love to win a Threads subscription for one year, I have been a subscriber for many years and look forward to my copy arriving in the mail. There is always something to inspire my sewing and instructions for a technique to try. All my copies are kept and used for reference as needed.
I love reading Threads. You have so many articles that actually teach the reader how to do things as well as many good ideas.
I would love to win a subscription to Threads because when I'm not sewing, I'm usually reading about sewing.
I would like to win it for my step-daughter. She asked me to teach her to sew, so I bought her first sewing machine this Christmas.
Threads has been my go-to resource for so many years that I would like to see her getting the same professional tips and techniques that I have. I consider threads a "must have" in anyone's sewing room!
I've subscribed to Threads for many years & I love to read it even when I don't have time to sew. I'd love to win a year's subscription!
I would like to win a subscription because no matter how much I know, there's always more to learn.
I discovered Threads magazine a number of years ago, and was happy to have a source for sewing tips beyond basic how-to. I dropped my subscription when life got too hectic to sew. Now that kids have grown and gone, I'm trying to remember/relearn a lot about sewing. I'd love to have a free subscription to Threads!
I would like to update my sewing skills. Threads will help me do that.
I teach sewing, and though I'm not a subscriber, for at least 6 years have promoted Threads as THE best sewing magazine, encouraging my students to subscribe, and even sending in subscriptions for them. I would love to win a year of Threads!
I love threads for all the information available, as I live in Brazil and we don't have a magazine as good as Threads!
[email protected]
I am always amazed when one of the featured couture tips in a Threads magazine helps me solve an everyday sewing dilemma. Now retired, I am looking forward to learning how to truly fit my clothes to justify nice fabric. No matter what size I am at the time, I can look better with well-fitted clothes. I would love a free 1-year subscription to Threads for practical tips and inspiration.
I would love to receive a subscription to Threads because it would help me with my sewing skills.
I used to sew my clothes ago, and recently got into costume making and would love the extra assistance of the NEW Fashion Forward way of learning the Threads way!!
I'd love Threads!
A free year of Threads would be much appreciated. I have had a continuous subscription since #44. I, also, love reading Threads on my Ipad when I'm travelling. I especially love reading about and sewing the feature items. Thank you so much for all the information, tips and projects.
Keep up the good work
Carroll Thatcher
LOVE Threads magazine! Any opportunities to extend the love affair, I'm in!
I'm curious about what the Insider contains. The two articles posted today are from the magazine, and if I can cancel the hardcopy subscription, why not? Love Threads, but I can change.
I would be so inspired to start sewing for myself again if I won the subscription.
regards,
Theresa
OMG - why WOULDN'T I want a years subscription to my favorite magazine? lol I learn so much from this publication, I just want it to keep coming!!!
I do a significant amount of sewing, not only for myself but others. I have made specialty dresses and one or two wedding dresses. A subscription to Threads would help me in not only creating clothing, but making outstanding clothing that people will wear with pride...and I will be proud that I made.
Threads always has a vast amount technical and inspirational ideas. I always learn something new from them and having a hard copy in my hands allows me ease of use when it's time to do a project.
I would love to win! I'm just returning to sewing clothes after a decade or three, and would love the knowledge and confidence that you Threads could give me. Thanks for the opportunity.
As an avid sewist, and sewing teacher, the information in Threads is a great source for getting information.
I'd like to win, because I love this magazine, and use it in my teaching techniques alot.
I am a long time dressmaker of my own clothes, those of my children and others, I enjoy the varied articles in Threads, especially the back cover. I would love to win a years subscription but if I won it I would like it to go to someone who is just starting out on their sewiing journey like my niece who wants to sew clothes for her children, the only one of the next generation to have any interest! Keep up the good work!
I have sewn all my life, but I am always interested in learning new techniques, or discovering more about fabrics and tools. Plus, I am a designer of clothing, so getting an eye on new ideas is always welcome.
I would love to win a year subscription. Threads has so much information that is so helpful, alterations, embellishments, new techniques and so much more. My favorite magazine.
Twenty years ago I majored in fashion and interiors in college. At that time I was sewing ALL OF THE TIME. Then we had our first son and I created an entire nursery for him. From then on, life and three more sons took over. Not much sewing happening in that crazy house. But now thankfully I'm back at it. I'm sure techniques and technology have changed tremendously. I think winning a subscription to Threads would get me up to speed. Thanks so much!

I would love to win a years subscription to Threads. It is my favorite magazine and I have every issue.
There is a wealth of information in each Threads issue, which could help close the gaps in my knowledge of sewing and alterations. At current, I could use all the help I can get with those alterations. I am losing weight more rapidly than I can afford new clothing.
I've spent a fortune on Threads Magazines over the years and would love to win on a subscription so I can spend my usual subscription money on a different offering from Threads.
I am a mostly self-taught seamstress/designer. Threads has taught me so much and I would love to learn even more!
I would love to receive a subscription to Threads, I need to go to the library and read their copy. I would love one of my own.
I would love, love, love to get a free year's subscription to Threads magazine!! I have learned sooo much reading past issues. There are so many inspiring articles. I would be able to buy more CDs and sewing books with the money that I saved!
I love Threads magazine - whenever I get it I read all of it right away! I would love to get a free year of Threads!
My subscription has run out and I miss it. The articles and juicy tidbits are so helpful, to me, in my refinement of sewing. The articles are precise. Wonderful glossy pictures, that - just make you - want to read & read. Hope I win!!!
Threads if full of fantastic ideas, inspiration and educational articles by amazing contributors. I love receiving my Threads magazine each couple of months and a year of free Threads mags would be the icing on the cake!
Threads is the best magazine I've found to provide inspiration and instruction. It's wonderful. Thanks for publishing it.
I need need need Threads. I recently started sewing again after many years and could benefit from the info in the magazine. Thank You
I love every issue of Threads magazine. It has truly made me a professional.
How wonderful would it be to win a subscription to "Threads" magazine? I can't even imagine having access to the incredible articles and in depth instruction. I am so excited to have this opportunity.
I'm on my 3rd year of subscribing to Threads magazine. I LOVE it and can't put it down! My Husband would love for me to win also; when I am buried in the Threads, I leave him alone to do what he wants. A win, win and it sews up a happy home!
I oversee university level costuming students and would love to use threads to help them continue learning.
Threads magazine is my main source of ideas and inspiration. I would love to have a year's subscription!
I have saved every "Threads" that I have rec'd since I began subscribing. I have the Magazine Archive but found the paper copies easier to refer to. I would love to have the honor of extending my subscription one full year. Threads Magazine is the only one I order and read from cover to cover and Learn from also. Keep up the excellent work. BTW, I may be a little older, (not yet to the 60's or anything) but I like the new format of this last issue.
I am already subscribed to threads insider and the magazine Would love to win a year anyway since I already love the magazine!
I LOVE Threads magazine, and winning a year's subsctiption would be an added bonus.
I have sewn for the past 52 years and have coveted Threads magazine since discovering it in the 70's. I love sewing and the interplay of fabrics, sewing techniques and interesting applications. After working in the apparel industry for nearly 20 years, leaving it to the corporate world, I find that sewing is the one thing that I still have a PASSION to pursue!!!
I would love to win a subscription so that I can follow the informative articles and ingenious techniques that Threads continues to publish.
It's almost time for me to renew my subscription--getting it free would be excellent.
I've been a subscriber since Threads' first issue and can't imagine being without it. It is without a doubt the finest sewing magazine in print. I teach sewing and always recommend to all my students.
I would love to have a free year of Threads, because it is a great magazine, inspiring me to try new things.
The thrill of getting a Threads. One glances at the front cover and immediately turns it over to the back. there is the treasure!
I've recently started sewing again and would love to win a subscription to learn to sew better. Thanks!
I believe sewing is a skill you continue to build on, and I've subscribed to other sewing magazines in the past but have found that I have benefited from Threads magazine the most. So I have decided that Threads was the one magazine I will keep subscribing to, and I let the others go quite a long time ago. So since money is tight these days for me, if I can win a free year that would be so appreciated. Thanks for the chance! :)

I'd love to access Threads on my new Kindle.
I would love to continue receiving Threads Magazines! I learn something new with every issue.
Of course, I would like to win a year subscription for this marvoulus, faboulus magazine. On each issue, there is something on it that help to continue Learning. It gives us ideas to accomplish new projects.
I have been sewing for many years but always learn something new when I read Threads magazine. There are articles I go to again and again. It has definitely improved my level of sewing.
I love this magazine. I would love to win another year so I could keep up with all of the techniques from Kenneth King, Mary Ray and Louise Cutting. I learn so much from them.
I just love your magazine. It is filled with so many useful and inspirational articles. I am constantly looking through past issues for the better way to do something.
Would love to win the free year subscription.
I love Threads magazine. It is what I call diversified. There is something interesting in threads for sewests of all levels of experience. I teach sewing classes in my private studio and am always recommeding that my students subscribe to either your magazine or your website so that they can continue to reinforce the skills and knowledge I am teaching them. I love the articles and the many links to sewing sites. I could spend a huge amount of hours surfing the net with the information you give us.
Thanks for a great publication.

I love the info from the magazine and website. I never stop learning.
Living in a rural area, there are no sewing classes available to me, so I love the clear instructions and wonderful pictures in every issue of Threads. Would love to win the year subscription.
I have been enjoying Threads magazine since I took up sewing in 1988. It has answered many questions for me about alterations and fit. I have always appreciated the back cover and when the short stories were added it was just icing on the cake! I wish that I could always afford to have the latest copy of Threads on hand, but alas that is not the case. I was delighted in 2009 when my family gave me the Threads DVD for Christmas. I still enjoy going back into the archives and reading the articles and trying some of the projects. Thank you Threads for making crafting accessible!
I remember the first time I saw Threads Magazine in a book store. I couldn't believe there was so much information in one magazine. I have thoroughly enjoyed it for many many years.
I have not missed an issue yet since Threads began so I would love to win a subscription. Wonderful information packed magazine.
I remember the first time I saw Threads Magazine in a book store. I couldn't believe there was so much information in one magazine. I have thoroughly enjoyed it for many many years.
I would LOOOOOVE to win a subscription because I know the info will help me go to the next level in my sewing skills! Plus, I love the tips & tricks. They also have great sewing projects. I just love it!l
I love to sew and would like to be able to learn more about the craft and brush up on old skills. There are so many things I feel I still need to learn and this subscription would be a big help. Thanks.
Threads magazine is my "go-to" source for many specialty techniques, as well as articles on the latest innovations in sewing. I would love to have a free renewal of my current subscription so I can continue to enjoy my favorite magazine and have more money for fabric!
Threads surpasses every other magazine on the market. I always find innovative and useful information in every edition. It is the one magazine that I do not share or pass on. Keep up the good work. I would love to win a subcription for "Threads".
I love your magazine. I am so excited when it arrives. It is the only magazine that I get that I read cover to cover every issue. My husband brings in the mail every day and when Threads comes he always makes a point to tell me it has arrived.
Threads has become my inspiration to try new techniques and different ideas. Being a long time sewist and sewing instructor keeps me eagerly searching for styles and ways to interchange and create new from old and integrating everything together to stay fresh and updated.
I've been a Threads magazine reader and subscriber since nearly the first issue. I have all but about 10 of the early issues. I would love to be given another full year of the magazaine!
What a treat! When the new issue of Threads magazine arrives in my mailbox each month, I immediately scan it from cover to cover. Then later that night, after everyone else is in bed and the TV is turned off...it's my time to really read it. A chance to win it free for one year would be terrific!
I love Threads. As the leader of an American Sewing Guild Neighborhood Group, I often use a Threads article as inspiration for a group project.
Threads is a great reference for beginners & experts alike, I'd love to win!
I love this magazine which keeps me motivated and reminded of the joy of sewing.
So totally enjoy your newsletter and it has some interesting and useful advice thanks. Plz pik me!
every time i get blank while sewing this is the only site i refer...u guys do an amazing job...keep up
After taking a break from sewing for several years, I now find myself a "young" Grama and in need of inspiration to renew my interest in sewing for a "new demographic" and to update my home. I've always enjoyed Threads magazine and would be thrilled to receive a subscription!
Having a great time sewing now that we are retired!! Have been re-reading my old Threads issues but would love to have a free year subscription to keep the ideas coming.
I own every issue of Threads EXCEPT 2 and 4. It is the only magazine to which I still subscribe. I love to sit on a snowy day and pull out back issues and browse. Every time a new project presents itself and I am off on a new adventure. I love this magazine and now get it on my iPad as well as paper. I am hooked.
I have sewn many garments for my wife, kids and myself. I find the finessing articles and video tips very helpful in improving my skill and enjoyment. More stuff on men's clothing would also be appreciated.
The cost and lack of clothes in the stores are pitiful.I purchased a new machine and will start with simple projects to learn my machine.The strings and poor quality they call women clothes is too much.
You guys are a sewists' uber-magazine. Threads keeps us learning and exploring our addiction.
Your magazine always has such great articles and inspiration for sewing. I would love to win a subscription.
Threads magazine inspires me to see and make clothing the way I want it to look . I have learned a great many techniques from the articles and frequently refer to "pins" or older magazines.
My next project is to make a riding jacket for my niece to show her champion horse. Thanks for making sewing fun and uncomplicated.
Excellent magazine. Another year would be great!
I love, love, love, your magazine! Pick me! :-)
I would love to receive threads magazine for a year. I have just started back sewing and I am finding such great help in the threads magazine that I bought last month. The magazine has really encouraged me and helped me with some sewing problems that I was having
Another year of Threads would be great--other magazines become predictable, but Threads always manages to come up with new ideas for more experienced sewers as well as new ones.
I cant wait to win a subscription to your magazine. I just have to win it, I havent won anything in a long time. so its my time now.
So much information and ideas crammed into one magazine!
Threads gives me inspiration. There is a lot of knowledge in those pages.
Threads is an amazing magazine i look forward to every issue to see whats new and get inside tips. i would love to have a free year subscription.
Threads is my favorite magazine I’ve learned and look forward to picking up more tips the future….many times after reading an articlein your magazine I’ve been inspired to create something.
I have saved every Threads magazine I have ever read. I would love a subscription to add to the many tips and projects you have offered up to me. Thank you.
I have a complete set of Threads in hardcopy as well as the digital archive. For various reasons, in recent years it has been better for me to buy it at the grocery store. But I would be so happy to win a subscription!
I have had to have two heart surgeries in the past year, and am now arranging for orthopedic surgery on my knee so I can get back on my feet (pardon the pun!). I was forced to take early retirement just before all this began, so my very limited budget simply doesn't have room to renew my subscription. Threads is the only magazine I have had a subscription to for years, and I really don't want to miss a single issue! Please pick me!
I've saved all my Threads, finally donated them to the library when I received my DVD. But I've gotten a few printed ones since the DVD, so still love taking them to bed with me.
Threads continuously inspires me. I have been sewing for decades, and never tire of reading about sewing. There is always something new to learn, whether from a technical article or someone's creativity, and there is no end to the creativity in the sewing world. A year's subscription would keep me "fired" up for another year !
I can't begin to say how thrilled I would be to win a year's subscription to Threads. Thanks so much for the opportunity and it would be so appreciated.
I have a hard time catching a copy at the fabric store. It would be such an exciting gift to actually recieve Threads in my mailbox !! Threads is a valuable resource. I really want to win the subscription. Threads website is also a treasure of valuable information.
I would love to win a free year subscription, this magazine answers all my sewing questions, inspire me to work on new projects, and when I can afford to buy one of their monthly magazine, I read it the whole thing without skipping a page.
Threads gives me lots of inspiration. Living in the middle east, it's hard to come across good sewing publications in languages I actually know, so I'm always following Threads online, but would love to receive a subscription! It would be fun not to have to wait for friends to fly abroad to bring me back an issue... :)
There is the only opportunity to get Threads here, in Poland... So why not to try? I could be a lucky winner...
Iwould love to win a years subscription to Threads as my Threads magazines are like sewing oxygen to me.
I have been sewing for 64 years. I purchased the first Threads magazine and I have had a subscription ever since. I read the magazine from cover to cover and enjoy every article. Because of economic situations, I have limited myself to two magazines, Threads is, of course, one. I would love to receive a free subscription, then I could use that money to renew my Insider subscrition. Thank you for the opportunity.
This is the first magazine I've ever found that regularly gives practical examples and solutions to real-life problems in dressmaking and tailoring. It's a joy to read, and if I won a subscription it would be used to confirm my renewal.
Threads rocks!!!! Pick me, pick me! (Big smile)
This is definitely the best sewing magazine I have ever found so a full years worth would be sheer pleasure!
I have sewn all my life and love learning more. I have wanted to subscribe to the Threads magazine for a long time so this would be a real treat to win. Thank You.
Threads is the best sewing magazine I have ever read. I have learnt a lot from every issue.
Have just come back to fashion sewing after many years and found this is the best resource.
I love threads. Just bought the Archive DVD. I learn something from every issue and it is nice to refer back or just reread for the eye candy.
Tania
I look forward to the mail every day when I know the Threads Magazine is about to arrive. I get my coffee/tea or whatever and read it cover to cover. I cannot imagine not ever having this magazine. Please pick me - please, please.
Oooh, I would love a print subscription--your online membership is so helpful, and I would enjoy the option of hoarding all those back issues so that I can reference them again and again!
Oh, Well I use the library to read thread magazine but they only have a few on hand and I think I'm the only one reading them. I've only bought a few of your magazine only, because I keep telling myself I will buy the DVD when finally feel I'm ready to step up my sewing power. I've been teaching myself to sew, now about two years. Sewing gets quite pricey but I love it. I've used your site many time when trying to figure out a sewing project. I guess I'm thinking you could pick a newbie like me to inspire me more. :)

Coming from Australia I have subscribed to Threads for several years. Now it is the only sewing magazine for me.
I love Threads and all the wonderful sewing ideas it shares with me. Getting a free extension to my subscription would be wonderful!
Threads beats the local sewing magazine hands down. I have not found a better sewing magazine on the market. Your magazine has interesting articles that show case things to make at my skill level and beyond. It's always inspiring and makes me wish I could clone myself; as I lament not having 25 hours in a day to make all the wonderful items I have on my wish list. Thanks for showing me basics like finishing techniques for seams. It's something I was never taught when I was learning. I could go on and on and on....Just let me finish by saying I always recommend your magazine to fellow sewists and a direct international subscription makes it affordable. I look forward to the Android Tablet version becoming available.
Yours
A raving Fan in Australia.
I have had subscriptions to Threads magazine in the past and have thoroughly enjoyed them, reading and referring back to them constantly. At this point in my life, I am trying to reduce my "bulky" inventory and decided purchase Threads on the CDs offered annually. However, I seem to keep finding myself drawn to Threads EVERY TIME I walk past the magazine rack at the local sewing and craft stores! I keep buying the single issues here and there, sometimes missing an issue because my timing was bad and the issue is no longer on the rack. I would love to win a subscription to Threads so I could enjoy them "cover to cover" again without missing an issue.
I am Italian and I have found Thread Magazine just looking for some good advice to sew better in the net. I am not an expert in sewing but I have a real passion: it is a challenge every time a begin a new project and a satisfaction to receive congratulations on accomplished matter! Tread Magazine would be a good help for the future!! Monica
I love all the new things in the magazine to try. Always learning! Thanks
If I win a free subscription my mom can get me something else for my birthday for a change! 8-)
I would like to win a year threads subscription so i could learn all the techniques to help me become a better seamstress. I have just started my first pattern mixed garment and learning techniques instead of following directions on a pattern will help me design more complex garments
I love your mag! The informative articles, the great tool recommendations and the EYE CANDY - wow!! I would be thrilled to win a subscription and mayby take my seing to the next level with your help.
Threads magazine is one of the best sewing resources available. Where else could you find sewing advice from so many nationally and internationally known sewing professionals? It's the only magazine that makes me stop what I am doing when it arrives so that I can read it cover to cover. They never get thrown away even though I purchased the archives and belong to Threads Insider. There's always something new to be learned or a technique refreshed or refined from long ago.

I love threads magazine. My mother-in-law introduced me to it years ago, and it's been my staple magazine ever since. I would love to get a free year's subscription! I live overseas and I don't have much access to sewing advice or new techniques.
Threads gets into the details of fine sewing. For someone who appreciates exquisite hand sewing (and "turning a nice seam" as my Grandma used to say) this magazine is THE only reference. Would love to add to my sewing muscle with this excellent resource!
Why? Funny question - cause I LOVE threads! This is my FIT :)
I used to have years and years of Threads magazines. I moved several times and at some point had to let them go. It would be so nice to have a year of them again to see what is new and just sit and flip through a magazine!
Why would I like to win? Because I love Threads! I have always loved it. I love it now and I will always love it! I keep all my issues - thinking now of getting the digital copies.
Threads magazine is a wonderful source for in-depth exploration of fine sewing techniques and the newest directions in garment design and construction. Having sewn 'forever' I love the challenge of refining my sewing skills and trying new things. I'd love to have a subscription!
I like the print copy of Threads, it's detailed and full of interesting information.
I would like to learn more about detailed sewing from the in-depth articles. I have enjoyed this magazine in the past and would like to read it again.
I love sewing. I have the burda style magazine and other Dutch magazines, but threads is not available here. All I see on the Internet of Threads is great. Thank you A3nn

I love Threads, I was an original subscriber. I liked in the beginning when there was knitting included.
I recently began to sew more seriously and last year discovered Threads magazine. I would love to win a subscription. Your magazine is always filled with such incredible tips and techniques.
I anxiously await every new issue I get and then treasure the time I have with each page I turn, Thank You

Please enter me in the drawing, I really look forward to each issue coming to my mailbox there are so many ideas and tips that I always come away with learning something new.
I would love to win a year subscription of Threads magazine because your detailed techniques are always helpful, and I could use the money I saved on fabric =)
I use my Threads Magazine like it is my sewing Bible. I subscribe to them so I want miss an issue. I would be grateful to receive a A free year's subscription because I refer to Threads many times when I have questions about fabrics and seams. I save them, too. No matter what space they take up, I just accommodate the room. I love my magazines. The information in them is priceless.
I would love to win a free year of Threads...a magazine I treasure and read over and over.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE each new issue of this magazine.1 Whether I've had a subscription or just pick it up at the fabric store near me, I devour it immediately! Almost better than ice cream! Between the articles and the resources, I don't know which are more helpful. Just don't ever stop, please. Here's hoping!
I have been buying Threads since around 1998, to receive a one year subscription would be such a gift. I am starting the fashion apparel program here this fall at a local college and Im sure threads for a year would be a great rescource for me as it always is!
Threads is above and beyond the best sewing magazine ever. Winning a year subscription would be sew awesome
Threads is really the only sewing magazine worth buying. And I have for a couple decades at least.
(Actually, any magazine Taunton Press releases is "Fine!")
*I love Threads magazine.
I have wanted to subscribe to Threads but it just hasn't been in my budget.
I love how your magazine explains different techniques and how to alter patterns. I'm planning on making much of my clothing because the ready-made stuff found in-stores always seem to be low-quality, wrong colors, and don't fit me right! Thank you for showing us how to make clothes that make us look and feel our best!
Love your magazine. Would love a year's subscription!
I love threads it is such a resource for sewist and quilters alike I always refer to them for ideas and facts
The BEST tips for sewing anything!
I love Threads magazine. Have been a reader since 1995!
I once subscribe to threads. I love, love this Mag. Would really love to win your years subscription. It's truly a wonderful tool!
I can always find inspiration in every issue! I love Threads magazine!
It is a great magazine!
I read and enjoy Threads from cover to cover. I would appreciate an extension to my current subscription.
I love threads magazine. All of the tips are awesome. When I am stuck on something I check my collection of threads magazines to see if there is a tip in there.
Love Threads Magazine. I've been reading them from the very first issue and I don't think I've missed a single issue.
I have been a Threads subscriber since the first magazine came out. I read it cover to cover when it comes to my mailbox. It is a very important addition to my creative life. I learn something almost every time I pick up the magazine. I love Threads.
This is a great magazine for me. I sew everything and Threads always has articles that I can relate to. I take advantage of the online Tutorials as well.
This year I couldn't justify spending the money for a subscription, so sadly, I decided to drop your magazine. :( Winning this free year of Threads Magazine would be S0000 awesome! Love the inspiration I get from each issue. Truthfully - your magazine is the classiest sewing magazine out there. Thanks so much for this opportunity!
Well...my answer is simple...my birthday is on May 26th and this would make a wonderful birthday present! :-D
I love your magazine, but my budget just doesn't allow me to buy it. I would love to win a subscription!
I discovered Threads about 5 years ago when I was able to have more time to do what makes me most happy, Sewing. Unfortunately I haven't renewed my subscription since the first year cause well...long story. But I have given year subscriptions as gifts and always are a big success. I don't want this awesome prize, I NEED this awesome prize!!!!
I love threads for both the instruction and inspiration. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Threads is my "go-to" sewing resource.
I have loved this magazine for many years, and had subscriptions in the past ... alas have let them laps. I have been sewing since the '60s and I want to stay up to date with the current tips, info, designs etc. Wonderful reading for a lifelong sewer like me!! Thx
Hi i dont speak english but i do a big effort,i like very mush sewing and yor magazine is great, and i glad win.regatts
Hola no se hablar ingles bien pero me esfuerzo y en realidad me gusta mucho coser y su revista es maravillosa por eso me encantaria ganar y a la vez practico mi ingles.saludos
After years of wanting to subscribe, buying the magazine behind my husbands back, and closely following the site online, I just gave in and subscribed. To be able to add another year would be absolutely wonderful. I can't get enough of Threads and learning new techniques. Unfortunately, old habits die hard, but I'm getting there.
May 25th will be my & my hubby's 28th wedding anniversary. Starting reading "Threads" magazine not long after that and have nearly every issue since. This is a magazine that I never tire of and have no plans to ever give it up. Thanks "Threads" magazine!
In the past year, I've become increasingly interested in couture finishes in my clothing, and winning a subscription to Threads would mean I would get access to an additional source of knowledge and technique.
I love, love, love threads! I subscribed for many years until the money crunch hit. :( Would love to get it again.
threads magazine has been love-at-first-sight for me. I first discovered it in a library where I was vacationing. Soon after, I was subscribing. I look forward to receiving my print format magazine. I am beginning to cancel other magazines but threads magazine will be the last one I cancel - and this will not be any time soon.
For the past six months, I have been sewing as much as I can to become a better seamstress. A one-year subscription to Threads would increase my skills ten-fold!
I have been buying Threads on and off since it was first published. I enjoy discovering what is hidden in the content of every issue and have been purchasing old issues.
My huisband has given me a gift subscription for several years. A year's free subscription would keep your wonderful magazine coming.
I am new to sewing beyond patching, hemming and the like. I am trying to learn to make my own clothes and Threads seems the place to start
I love Threads magazine! It is the only magazine I take the time to read from cover to cover every month, usually as soon as I get it out of the mailbox.
Because I love Threads! Even when I don't have much time to actually sew, I always learn so much from reading it. Every issue is inspirational.
I bought some old threads magazine and am now hooked. A subscription would be really awesome!
Id love to win a year subscription for all of the great tips amd tricks the magazine supplies!
My subscription ends on January 14, 2014. With 3 children and trying to make ends meet it would be wonderful to win this inspiring magazine full of tips and ideas. Keeps your mind of the day-to-day troubles for a little while.
I have the Threads 2011 archive and love it!
However I've never had a printed issue, so I'd be really happy to win this giveaway :).
I am from the Caribbean and the exchange rate is 6.40tt dollars to 1USD. I am a contributor to the Insider magazine but would love to receive the actual print magazine also. I am also a home sewist trying to develop a business as an income generation. I am not a fan of online reading and a print magazine would enable to make more out of the articles..
Thanks
I received Threads magazine for years and then let my subscription lapse because I could no longer afford it. I still can no longer afford magazines, but I would love to see Threads again. Thank you.
PTSD has been with me since our house burned down 5 years ago. I lost years of Threads which is why I would appreciate winning a one-year subscription to extend my current subscription that expires next autumn. I started Social Security this year & live with my son to make ends meet. I replaced my 2 (Kenmore) sewing machines with a different brand (Brother) that I use at least twice a month to learn the new features. My 25 year old serger was in the shop for cleaning & tuning up at the time of the fire, after which I haven't worked up the nerve to use it... yet. Time to move on and sew some practice samples. Several thrift store finds await my attempts at re-designing and alterations. Even though I grew up sewing, Threads still teaches me the fine points to make "homemade" look "handmade."
As a teenager in the Caribbean my interest in sewing peaked and then I found Threads in a bookshop. Talk about off the radar!!! Alas the exchange rate skyrocketed and I can no longer buy Threads. I therefore would love to win a free subscription even if it is only for one year.
"Threads" is the most amazing magazine. The sewing techniques, couture garments and techniques, and the wealth of ideas keep me looking forward to the next issue with anticipation.
Thanks for a wonderful and enjoyable resource!
I WORK AT A HIGH SCHOOL. AFTER GETTING MY COFFEE I RELAX WITH THREADS MAGAZINE. SOMETIMES A GET OLDER ISSUES TO GIVE ME IDEAS.
I am a Threads subscriber and I need to renew. It would be great to win a year's subscription. Thanks for the opportunity.
I just love Thread magazine, i'm on disability and have a fixed income and really can't afford to buy it. A salesman on the telephone was trying to sell me a magazine subscription for a really low price,he had over 300 magazine to choose from, I asked,did he have Threads and he didn't have it,,I would have gotten it from him too.It would be wonderful to win it,Threads has so much information about new and old sewing ideas.I love the colorful illastrations too.
Sewing has taken a back seat in my life for several years, and I am just now trying to ge back into it, but feeling as hough a lot of new information. techniques and equipment have passed me by. he Threads magazine subscription would be the perfect way to bring myself back up to date!
Inspiring, stimulating creativity among my fabric stash, and offering expert guidance in techniques is what the Threads Magazine provides for me. I enjoy taking the examples and techniques to my creativity center and exploring what I can generate with a personal look and appeal for my wardrobe. I would be extreemly grateful to win a year's subscription to this fabulous resource. :)
I saw issue one of Threads at the Fabric Store and subscribed immediately. I own every issue of threads and would love to get a another year free.
I look forward to receiving my copy of Threads every month and read every issue thoroughly. I often look back through the. Issues to find an article that Ii remember seeing, even years ago, to make a project. Threads Magazine is my little treat to myself and I'd love to keep on receiving it.
Have loved Threads since I discovered it a few years after it started. Always gives me ideas for a challenge.
I would love to win a subscription to your magazine because I would love to have copies of my own and not just borrow copies from the library.
Threads is a fantastic magazine with lots of wonderful ideas for the seamstress. I used to have a subscription, but am now on a fixed income and it had to go. My sister gave me all her old issues after she bought the cd of all years.
I read Threads as soon as I get each volume. Now retired and hope I can still afford it. Love to win a year's subscription.
I love threads. I have it on my phone but It is really small to see I have been hoping for an ipad but hasn't happened yet.
so I would love to have the copies in my hand.
I use all my past issues so much for reinforcement on techniques.
I would love to be getting guidance so that I can get confidence to start making clothes that actually fit my small waist and big hips.
I need this magazine~ it is one of my favorites!!!!
Of course I would love to win a years free subscription to Threads, but if I don't no worries I keep my subscription current. I love your magazine and I won't live without it.
I subscribe now and will continue to even if I don't win. Threads is a reference like no other magazine. Although the fashion parade in some of the others are pretty, it does me more good to learn techniques than to see clothes I'd love to make although Threads has that, too. I'd love to have another year added to my subscription.
Look forward to each issue. Read EVERY bit--including all of the advertising, which I consider "educational shopping". I recommend the magazine to all ages, fabric customers (My work in Fabrics Department of a big crafts and hobby retail store). Thanks for a well done periodical, full of inspiration and sewing tips.
I would love a one year subscription to Threads. I am now going to start sewing on my own and think this would make it a lot easier.
I have nearly every issue published and I still refer to them. Good ideas never grow old. I just update them. It's my FAVORITE magazine. I drop everything and read it cover to cover the day it arrives. Keep up the great work
Love Love Love Threads ---- have been buying month to month -- yearly subscription would be the best ;0)
... would love the subscription b/c even thought my mother, a designer, taught me to sew many years ago, every month or so get a copy of Threads -- I learn alot -- and my mother recently commented, after reading my copy -- you can always learn other great technique, tip, etc to make your sewing more professional and/or easier
Uh--that's a silly question! ;)
I have subscribed from the beginning and will keep subscribing forever. A free year would be awesome.
I have been a subscriber ever since I first started working. Now I am a retired pensioner, it is increasingly difficult to afford same.
I have every issue since the beginning. A free additional year would be awesome!
I've just started sewing this year, bought my first machine, and omigosh I'm overwhelmed with all the information available. I can't afford all the books and mags I want, so I spend time in the local shops flipping thru them for ideas, wishing I could subscribe. I've gravitated toward a couple mags I love, one of which is Threads. It'd be AWESOME to get it at home, instead of "window-shopping" it at the store. :) Thanks for your magazine and the opportunity to win a year's sub!
Sherry
I would love to win a full year subscription to Threads because we live over 50 miles from stores that sell it! Threads is an interesting and very helpful magazine and I enjoy reading it.
Because it's the best ever.
Because I love it!
I have been a Threads subscriber almost since the beginning. I also have your archives on my computer but still keep the hard copies. My subscription is due to be renewed soon. So I would love to win a free year.
I would like to win a years subscription to Threads magazine as it is the best sewing magazine I know, much better than the sewing magazines here in the UK. I feel envious of you in America as there is so much more for sewers, but Threads magazine goes a long way to bridging the gap.
I love Threads. I am a charter subscriber and I have all the archives on my computer and I am an Insider. I can't get enough! Free is good, too. :)
Pick me ! Pick me ! Pick me !
Getting Threads in the mail is like Christmas every other month ! I'm like a kid in a candy shop & read it cover to cover over and over until the next one comes.
(I really should be sewing for a living if it makes me this happy, shouldn't I?)
Thank you so much for making such a fun and useful resource.
Subscription will be an amazing gift.
It's been 40 years since my home economics class in junior high and I hated it! We made skirts of polished cotton...before permanent press...and had to wear them all day to school the day to get a grade. I was embarrassed to death with all the wrinkles.
I've dabbled lately with Threads and am wondrously excited with the new techniques and timesavers. A free year subscription would do wonders for my education all these years later!!
k
Of course I would like a subscription to Threads magazine! Inspiration and pleasure!
Love this magazine and would be thrilled to win.
Wow- what a treat to be to improve my sewing skills!
I have always used Threads magazine as a resource for all my sewing needs. To have an additional year to my multiple years subscription would be "sewsensationa".
I would LOVE to win a subscription. I am recently retired on disability, and have started sewing a lot more. The trouble is, I have a very limited income. I did subscribe this year for the first time. I really like the magazine.
My name is Elizabeth Green and I live in St Augustine, FL. I started learning to sew late last year, and have taken lessons weekly since that time. I'd love to win a subscriprion to "Threads" magazine, because I have so much to learn.
I am a current print subscriber and I look forward to receiving my Threads. The inspiration and the sewing know-how that you provide is priceless. I would love to win an additional year's subscription. Thank you for the opportunity.
Because it inspires me. I can always find the solution to any problem I have. Threads is a great teacher.
Threads is the BEST creative and how-to sewing magazine! I had my daughter buy me the Threads archive cd of past magazine issues for Christmas to keep the inspiration flowing!
Looking forward to even more inspiration from your talented team!
i would love to win a subscription to threads magazine because i really liked reading this magazine at a friends house but she moved away and i can't afford a subscription.
Threads magazine has been my best source for ideas and answers to questions about sewing of all sorts for many years. I have been a subscriber for a couple of years as well as a subscriber to Insider. I bought the magazines long before my subscription though and find it to be the BEST and most INFORMATIVE of any other sewing magazine out there.
I would love to have the one year free subscription but not for myself. Last month I spent a week with my sister in another province (Ontario) showing her how to use her sewing machine for more than just mending. She made a skirt while I was there and now she is hooked on sewing and almost finished making a second skirt since I left. If I won this subscription, I would give it to her as a gift so we could continue our passion for sewing together. I love my sister and since we can't be together often, this is a gift that would come from the heart. I live in Nova Scotia and have a small, home based sewing business now that I'm retired and love what I do. It is a true passion and I feel everyone should follow their passion in life if they can. The only thing better than that is sharing that passion and passing the knowlege along. That's what Threads magazine does for me.
As a loyal subscriber of many many years I'd like to have a break from paying for the magazine. Why not?

I'm French and have heard a lot from Threads. I've seen the online sample issues and I am really impressed. I would love to discover this magazine through a free subscription and look forward to reading about sewing in my bed...
The French magazine are no good at explaining techniques and stuff.
Would love to win this.
I LOVE to SEW and would love to get this free subscription
I love this magazine so much but have had a difficult time spending the $ on my own subscription. I would be so grateful to win this.
I got a subscription for Christmas last year and would love to get a "renewal"!
Great Magazine. Would love to win a renewal.
I wasn't aware that there was a "Threads" magazine. If I can get the same quality information as your emails, I know I would really benefit from a subscription. I love the couture instructions that add to my dressmaking skills.
As a loyal subscriber of many many years I'd like to have a break from paying for the magazine. Why not?
I love your magazine!
I want so bad to learn how to sew! I have trouble with fitting my bust nd with trying new techniques. I would love to win a subscription so I can ponder the techniques and tips over and over without someone saying "Ma'am are you going to buy something?"
I'd love to win a subscription because the magazine is never on sale in my local shops!
A free one-year subscription would be simply awesome, since there's always something new to learn in Threads.
I've been disabled by rheumatoid arthritis; and, one by one, the things I've enjoyed doing have been taken from me. One of the few things I have left is sewing.
Love the Magazine. Have been a subscriber since Issue 1! Winning would be great!
I love reading Threads at the library, I love reading Threads at the supermarket, I love reading Threads at the bookstore - so I would REALLY love my very own copy to enjoy again & again, anytime, anywhere!
Hello,
I discover Threads only few years ago when I bought the DVD. It took me about a year to read them all. At that time I copied each magazine on my Ipod to have an easy access and read it when I had the time. So, when Threads asked me some comments about the DVD, I explain what I have done with the magazine. I am happy that this simple idea was used for eveyone. Happy Threads to you !
I've been subscribed to Threads for one year now and I absolutely love it. Every time I get the new issue in the mail it's like I'm opening a present. I would be ecstatic to have a year's worth of issues for free.
If it wasn't for Threads, I wouldn't have starting in this great hobby of sewing!! Sometimes I wish I can make sewing a full time job but I haven't yet learned all the techniques to make some great projects. This is where Threads does an amazing job at improving my skills and creativity in sewing! I absolutely love this magazine and hope to learn much much more to transform from novice to expert. Thanks Threads!!
I've just started sewing again after hiatus of several years. Threads Magazine would be a great inspiration and a motivating force for me!
With all the inspiration of Threads Magazine, I would absolutely love a year subscription to step up my sewing skills!
I just moved, and gave away my fabric stash to a quilter's circle. Now that I'm settled in, I'd like to start building my stash...er, sewing again! :)
I'd love a subscription; all those marvelous ideas would get me right back into the fabric store.
In the 1970s, I used to sew all my clothes. I took a tailoring class in college. I stopped sewing in the 1990s. I have just started again, and there are so many things I do not remember. Threads Magazine would help me relearn techniques and acquire new ones.
Hi, Thank you for a great magazine. I live in Malaysia and I usually try to purchase Threads from the local bookstores but it's a hit and miss affair at the best of times. Sometimes I can get it and sometimes I can't, it's frustrating. It would be great if you would consider me for the free year's subscription. I love reading Threads with my iPad next to me so I can browse all the links in the magazine. It makes reading it last for days... love it. Keep up the good work. Cheerio
I would love to win this, because I find it very hard to find issues of Threads, as I live on the outskirts of town. And Threads magazine always has something interesting to teach me.
I love to sew and I devour each inch of Threads Magazine whenever I am able to get my hands on it! In today's financial times, however, I find that every penny counts and it is often that I find a need takes precedence over my desire to buy Threads.
Love to win a years Subciption to treads as I love the 1985 to 2011 DVD I brought. Judy
Threads Magazine is my Favorite sewing magazine, I have used so many of the techniques shown. Keep on inspiring us sewists!
For want of a subscription...
Good job you have done here!
Rejected for Being Excited to Learn More Sewing and Fashion Skills
Last fall I was kicked out of a fashion sewing class after day TWO. My instructor accused me of being "far too enthusiastic" and stated that my enthusiastic attitude was "distracting the other student in the class." Essentially, she was asking for a "sit-n-get" human sponge in a discussion and hands-on class. Thank goodness I found Threads and was able to pursue new sewing skills on my own.
Although the instructor's actions stripped NONE of my passion about sewing and fashion, she did keep 20% of my tuition; therefore, the gift of a year's subscription to Threads would go quite a long way to help me make up for this extremely costly mishap in my "enthusiastic" quest for more sewing and fashion skills.
Hi, TahoArt,
I love your story of prevailing over the teacher's attempt to squelch your enthusiasm for fashion sewing. That's the sort of reader we are looking for! However, I have bad news: As the post says, this giveaway offer had a deadline of 2013, so it has ended. I encourage you to continue reading Threads and visiting the website to fuel your excitement for sewing.
Carol Fresia, Threads Senior Technical Editor
::-) Yes, I did see the date on post but wanted to share my story anyway. I wanted Threads and its readers to know how truly valuable this magazine and Insider are to some of us. Often the only comments shared are about what's wrong in the world, so I wanted share a positive comment on how an optimist addresses a negative situation.
