So informative! Love her no rules, no fear, experiment advice. Please, please bring her back for a part 2 so we can hear all the other things she didn't get a chance to share! And bravo, Karen, for your maiden voyage into this series; it has started with a bang and looking forward to more! And fyi I have been a Superior Threads and titanium topstitch needle quilter since my first year of quilting -- what a difference these products make!

[@betosombrio3377]

Karen and Anita you are super adorable; loved Anita’s relaxing approaches to quilting.....”relax, have fun, finished things are more important that perfect things. I am a 65 years old men, retired, learned how to sew shirts for myself, and going to quilt shops to buy shirt fabrics, little by little just could not resist the deep appealing of quilting. Is addictive and is changing my life for better. Thanks for the enthusiasm , the information and the love for this art....quilting,,!!!!!!!!😘😘😇❤️🥰

Wow that was amazing! Learned so much and not just about thread. I'm 60 yrs old and it is so encouraging listening to older quilters talk. I feel like I'm learning how to age gracefully with my sewing and not to worry about perfection! Thank you ladies, both so much!!!

[@mgs783]

Karen~ your excellent questions and the flow of subtopics was so fluid yielding fantastic succinct answers, information & insight. I hope Anita will be back soon, she has a well rounded trove of experience that is relevant and relatable ❣️👍 Thank you so much, it felt like a conversation with a friend‼️

This was one of your best ideas! I’ve been sewing for years & years but this is the first time I feel like I know something about threads & needles. I have saved this video so I can refer to it over & over in the years to come. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@bevh2241]

This was fantastic. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 KZbin didn’t let me give you enough thumbs up. It was such a great interview. Anita was so interesting and had such good information, both technical but also personal. I couldn’t help but like her and feel disappointed I never got to take a class with her. Your questions were insightful, you really listened to her answers, asked great follow up questions, you didn’t let yourself get stuck on a script of questions, and you didn’t interrupt Anita’s answers.

[@julsbendandi9374]

[@johilpert9149]

I would definitely be interested in doing the thread/ needle book, please.

Yes! Since this wonderful lady is retired...please do go ahead with your idea to make a video on how to make our own “thread books”. "Thread Therapy with Dr. Bob" were great DVDs, but having something to reference that we make ourselves (and put notes in) would be even more useful. I can tell Karen’s Quilt Circle is going to be a favorite. Thanks for all the great information.

[@louwe6306]

Please teach us how to make a thread book

[@rwind656]

Please bring Anita back. Could we have some short video clips with more tech instructions on threads and needles? You love to see your sample book you made in class.

[@sadiedesimone7460]

Best interview ever!! I am an old, (make that very old) woman and know nothing about any of this fascinating subject. Thank you so much for bringing the topic of threads and needles to us. As a fledgling quilter I know this knowledge will save me time, money, and frustration.

[@melissaorona2834]

I'm halfway through this video right now. Having taught myself to sew & quilt, as I know no one else who does, I'm embarrassed to say I knew almost NOTHING about all of the things this video is teaching me. Oh my gosh, I'm so grateful you've created this informative chat with Anita! THANK YOU! Ok, gonna finish watching now. Best to you, Karen!

[@pampaxton3072]

OMGOSH! I so needed this video!! Thank you Karen and Anita! So many of my questions were answered and fears put at ease! Bless you both!! Karen, you are one of my very favorite people to listen to and watch.... and Anita is a lovely, beautiful soul! Prayers for her in the years ahead! I took a ton of notes and will save this video to watch again and again. So happy!!! 😃💕

[@reneesmith2665]

For me this was the best talk about thread and needles I have ever gotten. I wish I could have taken the class when she was available. Thread, tension, needles and bobbin adjustment scare me so much. Everyone has made me afraid to touch tension. I can honestly say I got a lot from this video. Please Please keep them coming!

[@judithaaron6985]

Thank you for introducing me to this delightful woman! I learned so much about thread and needles. Wish I could have attended one of those workshops you referred to and making one of those books for reference! But I also learned much about the tenacity, determination, and positive outlook in Anita that I need to remind myself to choose each day. Once again you have provided me and others with knowledge and friendship - such an uplifting combination!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

So glad to hear...it's what I was hoping for

Oh my what a wonderful conversation. I learned so much. I loved the honesty and openness at the end. Anita I wish you good health and continued happiness in your journey. Thank you so much for this interview.

[@pamelaktay]

I have friends who are "thread snobs"...and it has caused me to be confused, making me question what I can and can't use. THANK YOU for making our choices endless!!! I have varying threads and have never really understood them, but now I feel better versed! ((I'd love to hear more!))

[@carolhanks228]

Oh my, Anita is a wealth of inspiration an my soul leaps with joy listening to her info on needle and thread and her positive attitude, I gleaned and was encouraged in many ways! Looking forward to checking her out on Instagram.

[@stanjones2277]

OMG! Karen - this interview was awesome! I've only been quilting for 1.5 years now. My first love is garment sewing. But with the pandemic, I shifted my focus to quilting. My husband jokes that I need to make quilts for our bed more so than garments! And in some ways he's right! I love my sewing instructor as she's been quilting since 1993. And we get along well. She treats me like her own son. But in building my reference library of videos, books, pdf materials, etc. I'm discovering more that some of her views on quilting were from the era she learned in. Sometimes I try to introduce her to the more current content that she view on her computer. But she's seems to be somewhat off-put by it all. I definitely love to quilt. But my fear of screwing up an expensive project can be overwhelming at times! This interview helped me relax more about the process and become more aware of the threads I'm using! I've always stuck with Signature quilting cotton threads with no issues and have been using quilting needles. But I never really thought about mixing it up - within reasonable limits of course! To hear Anita state that quilting should be fun was so refreshing! Thank you for investing your precious time and energy in delivering this content! I've downloaded your materials on colour theory along with online classes offered by the National Quilter's Circle and their free-motion quilting classes. I am thoroughly enjoying the classes. Now it's the challenge of processing it all project by project. To hear Anita indicate she marked up her quilts for her designs made me feel so much better about the process! It was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I had invested in quilting stencils for months now and am feeling more confident about using them! Again, thank you so much Karen for this content!

I learned about needle size the hard way. My machine wouldn't sew and was bunching up thread, I spent 2 days looking at the bobbin; I finally took it to my local quilt shop and within 5 minutes she diagnosed the problem WRONG NEEDLE SIZE. She gave me the proper needle size and what a difference.

Oh my goodness! WHO KNEW? “Excellent info” doesn’t touch this! I keep thinking “great question” then she would blow it out of the water with her answer and additional info. I saved to replay as more info than my brain could soak in tonight. I all but shouted YES when you both talked of how our lives have changed since February and how not only have we adapted but are thriving . I know many are not able to refocus and survive so I feel guilty when I am asked how I’m doing and reply “I’m thriving”. We have a choice as to how we respond to life’s bumps and cliffs and I Have immense respect for everyone dealing with all that is happening in their lives and still living best as they can . A son living with you while dealing with cancer treatment and living with Parkinson’s are giant yet you both are showing us how we can focus on the good while coping with overwhelming piles of terrifying life detours. Thanks for that example Looking forward to your next video and please have her come back to tell us more!

[@ruthannmolyneaux478]

Hi Karen. I can’t believe all much I learned and loved your interview with Anita Zobens. I’m thrilled to have “met” her. I love her philosophy about work and life and all the curve balls we’ve been thrown lately by Covid. Yet here I am, one of the most out there people I know.I was very busy all the time going here and there all the time. When all that came to a screeching halt with the pandemic, I suddenly had time to do the one thing I loved best and that is quilting. I hardly ever go out, but when I do I enjoy it, even a visit to the dentist is fun, but my heart lies at home in my sewing studio in the back of my kitchen with a machine I’d like to chuck...did I mention expensive machine? Bottom line is that we’ve all learned so much. Even my granddaughters who thought they’d hate just going to school away from home only two days, now love it. The change in pace helps them do better and feel better. So we all need home more than we thought. Thank you Karen for bringing Anita and her life and thread stories for us to enjoy and learn from.

[@Joyce-lq6gm]

I just watched for the first time! Went to the AQS show in Grand Rapids and bought Superior thread & needles to make a baby quilt. I have never had so much trouble sewing on my sturdy, go to machine with threads and needles breaking and jamming my machine! Sure wish I had seen this BEFORE I started that quilt! And the Superior salespeople did NOT give me the same info Anita did! Thanks Anita! I too would like to see more! This was wonderful!

[@JSCRocketScientist]

One of my favorite quilting purchases wasn’t fabric. It was a little book called Point Well Taken, all about needle types and sizes. It had never occurred to me to increase my needle sizes for heavy work. 😂 or to use different needles for different types of sewing.

[@lindarose9083]

What a great video!! So inspiring that Anita just is taking life one day at a time and she was so generous to share her thread knowledge with us! I feel more confident now about trying different threads and combinations. Thank you so much!! 💗
