Just listened to the Kenneth King episode. Love the practical advice, and am so glad to hear how sewing is being discovered by younger generations.

I listen to these podcasts over and over again while diving in my car, and learn so much, picking up more tips that have improved my skill set.
Moneyplumby · Mar 2021
Yes! This episode is incredibly relevant for me, and so many of us who are trying to see while we stitch. I am looking forward to the article. Your podcast is a gem!

Love this podcast - it's nice to hear sewing-related content that is not totally focused on quilting. I have been sewing since 5th grade but really blossomed in my 9th grade sewing class in 1976 - Thanks, Mrs. Battcher! I made lots of clothes for my kids and switched to quilting when they wouldn't wear their matching outfits any more. Now I'm back to garment sewing for my grandkids. I love it all.

All of the sudden all of the Threads podcasts seem overly focused on selling products and services. Isn't there enough capitalist drivel across every channel of the internet? The guests on the last two episodes were so blatantly self-promoting that I had to turn it off. I have listened to every single episode of Sewing with Threads since the beginning of time, but I recently unsubscribed because of the change in programming. Even the Threads Instagram feed is different--now posting an amateur series of "would you rather" questions for replies from mindless bots, instead of interesting and useful information for those that sincerely want to learn and improve their craft. If these changes are representative of the "New" Threads Magazine, I'm very disappointed and will no longer be a subscriber. I guess it's a sign of the times. Companies would rather make fast money than a quality product.
