Has anyone received their new issue of Threads magazine (Feb/March). I
saw the new issue featured on the website, but it has yet to show up
in my mailbox. I had some trouble with my subscription renewal last
fall, but I thought we had gotten everything straightened out.
thanks,
Nancy

yup, got mine yesterday. i'm in NH.
i'm a little annoyed as the fabric they're showing off on the
back cover is Belgian linen gauze. they list 6 sources, none
of which *have* linen gauze. one does have a 3.5oz linen
handkerchief weight, but that's not gauze. annoys me, it does.
oh, & i liked the close-ups of fancy dress on the back cover
better anyway, so this is insult to injury ;)

I received mine soon after Christmas, DD and family were still here and she
had a look-see with me and of course DGD peeked, too. Both of them loved
the linen gauze on the back but DD asked why they did away with the fabulous
vintage clothing on the back. I had to say, "I don't know, but I miss it
ever so much." I have 2 years left on my subscription and may allow it to
lapse after that. It certainly is not the magazine it used to be; my
opinion, of course.

i have every issue from the first (except 3 that i loaned out
& were never returned :( ). it's undergone a few changes since
the beginning. i was really unhappy when they took out the
knitting & other not-directly-related-to-sewing articles.
i can see where putting in more beginner type articles is a
good thing, but i think taking out the back cover feature on
the vintage clothing was a bad idea. how are new sewists going
to see what they can aspire to? a feature on cloth could be
easily relegated to an inside section or even to the inside
back cover page, replacing the usually dull 'how i started
sewing' story...
perhaps they just need to find the balance between newbie
articles & experienced articles though... i hope soon before
they alienate both groups.

Mine finally arrived today - just in time for the weekend to sit and
relax and read. I have subscribed for several years now and still look
forward to reading them. I save the back issues for reference. I also
get Sew News but I don't like it as well, but my MIL keeps renewing it
for me every year as a Christmas gift.
