Do you know the way to Puyallup?
This Threads editor will be hitting the road later this week to attend the 2009 Sewing & Stitchery Expo in Puyallup, Washington. If you haven’t got this amazing event on your radar, then you should. This consumer sewing trade show is a sewer’s paradise, and they’re celebrating their 25th anniversary to boot.

Laura--you are absolutely right. It IS a professional job. I would also agree that most often, garments made by home sewists are better than store-bought because of the attention to detail and overall contstruction. We didn't mean to imply otherwise. The point we were trying to make here is that this garment in particular was so perfect in its execution, that it actually looked like a commercial garment in the most positive way.

Hi Celeste,
posted: 5:08 pm on February 25thI'm so glad to hear that you've enjoyed the Threads booth in years past. As you can tell from this post, we think the Sewing & Stitchery Expo is a superb sewing event and we have always been proud to have a booth at the show. Our decision not to have a booth is in no way a reflection of the quality of this fine event. But, like so many others, with the economic climate being what it is, we need to be conscious of our spending. So, we have decided to focus our resources on continuing to put out great magazines and websites while cutting some costs in other areas. While it is dissappointing not to have a booth, I am thrilled to be attending the show and can't wait to meet all the Threads and Threadsmagazine.com readers who are there! If you see me there, please stop me and say hello.
Deana
Re: Threads Announces New Editor
Thank you all so much for your kind words of welcome and of course for all of your great ideas for Threads! Keep em'coming! I'll definitely be taking all of your ideas into consideration as I work on future issues and as we develop new content for the website. Feel free to continue to post your ideas here or, as this post fades away, in the Gatherings forum. I've started a thread there where you can send me any ideas, questions, or concerns anytime. I may not always be able to respond right away, but I'll definitely be listening. Thanks again! It's so great to hear from all of you.

Hi Runa, Unfortunately we don't have a booth at the show this year. But, I will be there, so keep a look out!
