This is an announcement 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 message is coming from the MC10000
group at Yahoo. It is the last one that will be sent from that group.

"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@.... 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.

Thanks so much for your help. We really appreciate it!
