This time they had a link to reprints of their technical articles. I read a few of them and they are chock full of great information. It looks like these have appeared in Stitches magazine, an Australian publication.
Customer service is something I really value and this company has it in spades. The one time I had a question about one of their patterns, I emailed them. They responded within 24 hours and politely pointed out why I was putting together incorrectly. They have a Completed Projects Survey, the Colour Visualizer (it you haven't played with this you need to), and a places for you to add feedback. When I did break my pattern fast (because I have a subscription to BWOF ) it was with KwikSew (this dress).
Here are a few of the articles they cover and here are all of them.
I'm going to work on a LBD today!
Very appropriate for all the jackets and pants I've been doing.
I want to try this on a neckline.
Great, basic, well-written information. I wish I had had this article for the Coat Sew Along because it goes from start to finish. There are two parts. The only snafu? The link for Part 1 goes to Part 2 and the link for Part 2 goes to Part 1.

Thank you so much for that link. I signed up for their newsletter. I need all the help I can get. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
I love Kwik Sew as well. Thanks for providing the links to their sewing articles. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving...Susan
Thanks for the info! I read a lot of Australian blogs and they mention Stitches a lot!
I love those articles by Martyn Smith. I made my first ever jacket with those magazines open all over the living room floor. The jacket articles are in Stitches vol 15 #10 and #11, then in #12 there is a terrific article by Martyn on jacket linings. I think you can still get all of these as back issues.
I just signed up for their newsletter, too. They seem to have simple patterns for beginners like me. I will definately look into one very soon. Thanks again.!
Thanks for sharing the link! Much cheaper than buying Stitches. =) Your coat is gorgeous! Happy Thanksgiving!
Ok, I get the newsletter and never knew I could get all that! THanks for the info!!!
And I absolutely hear you on the CUSTOMER SERVICE. Amen. ;)
