  • Excellent content

    Threads podcasts have enriched my sewing practice. I get so inspired by the knowledge and enthusiasm of the experts who are interviewed. Unlike some other podcasts these are juicy and content rich, beyond just giggles and chitchat.

  • 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!
