Okay, I admit it. I’ve always resisted reading Threads magazine, both because it’s focused on modern sewing, but also because it’s pricey. I’m planning to ask for a new sewing machine for Christmas (I desperately want one that does buttonholes, plus there’s some electrical problems with my current one), so I picked up the latest issue for it’s review of 31 sewing machines currently on the market. I have to say, it’s fabulous! Tons of construction tips, lots of inspiration, and pretty too! They’ve got a ton of useful info on their website, with lots of articles from back issues.
