...I subscribe to Threads Magazine and come to think of it, it's about time to renew my subscription. My friend Cecil and I check with each other to see of we've each received the new issue; and when we do, we converse about the magazine from cover to cover. We love sewing talk in general - as well as we love dissecting each and every issue. She usually gets her's first - I guess because her last name begins with "B". If for some reason the magazine doesn't come at it's appointed time, honey - we will call those Thread's people - oh yes we will!
Recently I've been re-reading some of my back issues of Threads; enjoying little tidbits of sewing advise, tips and techniques that I've forgotten to use. My issues have their fair share of PostIt tabs attached - I say for future reference. Holding on to past issues of Threads has actually created quite a valuable resource library.
Last week I pulled the very first issue that I purchased off the shelf.

I don't think I'll ever forget the day I discovered Threads shortly after I started sewing again in 2006. What?, a dedicated sewing magazine? I couldn't believe my eyes. This was just what I needed! A magazine that would surly catapult my sewing skills to the next level. So I've been reading Threads for 8 years now, some issues are hot, and some not so much. Howbeit, my one (1) favorite thing in each issue is the "Closures" article - it's sometimes funny, and sometimes gives a look at people's serious sewing memories. Now, my Mother says "unintelligent people read books from back to front", but guess what I do as soon as I get the magazine in my hands - I flip to the back to read the "Closures" article - oh yes I do.
I also like the vintage style focus called "Up Close" that adorns the magazine's back cover. Of course there are many other great things about Threads and I often think that it would be so much fun to work at the publication.
Do you subscribe or read Threads???
