We've just finished the first issue of a new magazine called "Online Sewing". As the name suggests, it will be offered only online. Because we are sending this announcement to several mailing lists, you might get it as many as 4 times. We're very sorry if that happens, but we don't have the resources to check for cross-list membership, and in any case, the list services won't let us mail to just some members. It's all or nothing. This is the only time you will receive an email like this, so don't worry about getting mail-bombed in the future.

"Online Sewing" magazine is produced by Diane and Jim Stutsman. We've had the idea for several years, but the time required to operate our retail store in Frisco, Texas, has prevented us from doing it. After closing the store in February, we started working on it full time. This first issue is, as they say, a "beta" issue. Although it has been created from scratch 3 separate times, it is by no means in its final state. That's where you come in. Future issues will be offered quarterly (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter) at a cost of $4 each. We're giving you this one for free, but there's a catch. We want your honest opinions about it. Love it, hate it, or couldn't care less, we really want to know what you think. Please send your evaluations to feedback@onlinesewing.com. We probably will not be able to reply if the volume of responses is as high as we hope, but we will try to do so when appropriate.

Now let's talk about the magazine. It's being distributed as a PDF, which opens on just about any computer, the iPad, the iPhone, and many other devices. We've sized each page to display perfectly on the iPad in portrait orientation. You can print it out if you wish. There are no restrictions. Each issue will contain projects from Diane's library of classes that she's created, but with a twist. For each technique, there will be an easy project suitable for beginners, an intermediate project for those with developing skills, and an advanced project for sewing veterans. As far as we know, this is a first. Please download your copy here:

After you've looked it over, please let us know what you think. Be honest! We need your help to make it the kind of publication you want.

That means getting rid of nearly a quarter century of accumulated STUFF! Starting Monday, January 31, 2011, everything except machines will be 40% off. Each day the discount will be 3% more, until February 15. At that time whatever is left will be reduced to ridiculous or headed for the dumpster, and we will close for good. During these final days there will be no more repairs, special orders, or classes. This is it - if it shows, it gŒs! That includes store fixtures as well. Come early for selection, wait longer for deeper discounts. The choice is yours, but after February 15 your chances are gone. Thanks for all the great years - we'll miss you!
