    Kenneth and Sandra!
    I just listened to this podcast and absolutely loved it. If Sandra writes another book, I’d appreciate it including her biography! I was so inspired, I went straight to my designing / cutting table to work. I was in SF in and around the time of Sandra, Marcy, the Sewing Workshop but I was stunted in many ways and at 71 I’m late blooming. Had I only hooked up with ya’ll then! However, I am still and evermore inspired by you both. Thank you for your conversation!
  • Usedtobelazy
    Awesome podcast for more than sewing
    I just listened to the most recent podcast on neurodivergence with Hannah Choi. What a great interview! Thank you so much for sharing and bringing awareness to this topic. Please keep up the great work!!

    Is this the "New" Sewing with Threads? It's awful.
    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.

    Know their stuff
    Yeah, expertise. They need to publish more often. The very best sewing pod and we want more. The You Tube channel is a must, a lot of the pods are there with video but the demos by various experts as extras are amazing!
  • Moneyplumby
    Great sewing geek out
    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.
  • K80fab
    Vision episode!
    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!
  • PodTink
    Just for garment sewers
    For a podcast that claims its for people who like to sew, it lacks a love for anything not garment sewing. It’s a great podcast for garment sewers. However about every 4-5 episodes one of the hosts will spend time going on about how she doesn’t get quilting, etc. Perhaps she should try investing time in it. It’d make her a better teacher.
  • Sew Shannon
    The best podcast for sewers
    My only complaint is that the podcast are not often enough! Very knowledgeable speakers and great information.

    March 6, 2019 Episode cuts off before it ends
    I look forward to this podcast every month, and usually am re-reading Threads Magazine several times over before my next issue arrives. Is there someway to re-post last month's episode wo it can be heard all the way through?
  • Elliot Anne
    A Great Podcast
    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.
  • Leeeeeeemur
    Fun podcast, one tip for audio
    Enjoying the podcast, but would recommend looking into using some pop filters to decrease the vocal pops and clicks. Keep up the fun podcast. Enjoying hearing all of the guests.
  • A Victorious View
    We are going to need more!
    I’ve listened to two episodes of the podcast. I really enjoy it. We are going to need more! Once a month just will not be enough. Thank you for establishing a relevant selling podcast that lovers of sewing can relate to. Keep up the good work!
  • GAMGEE
