I wonder if this is new content, or repurposed articles from issues of the magazine? ------ I've moved! Visit my new sewing blog at http://chiralcraft.wordpress.com Do you sew from KnipMode?

It sounds like it covers so many fitting issues in 224 pages. I wonder about the format, photos, drawings, directions, etc. There is no "look inside" feature on Amazon or the Threads website. ------ Barb "I have not failed.

Of course even if it is old content, it would be nice to have all the fitting articles in the same book. ------ Ada
GlButterfly Intermediate CA USA Member since 8/28/08 Posts: 2391	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/5/12 8:25 PM I can only speak for two previous books which Threads put out and the contents were from articles from the magazines, so I will assume that that will be the case in this new book. Yes, it would be nice to have all of them in one place. ------ I have not yet begun to procrastinate
