Thinking, thinking…

In the Sewjournal Survey tutorials came out on top as the thing most people want to see. So I’ve been putting my thinking hat on to try to work out what tutorials would be most interesting to my readers.

It’s quite hard as my readers range all the way from complete newbies through to accomplished quilters, though I’m assuming the latter aren’t interested in tutorials. With that in mind – and bearing in mind that I’m no expert – I’ve come up with another survey to help me deliver what it is you really want in the way of tutorials. I’ll leave it open for a week so that you all get a chance to participate.

Here goes.

What do you really want…

I’d like to know what you would really like to see.  What makes you want to read a blog? What features do you really like? Are you into tutorials, free patterns, block swaps, quilt-alongs or something entirely different?

 Please vote

I’ve set up this poll and I’d really like it if you took the time to fill it in. If you have something you’d like to see that’s not listed just type it in the text box next to the Other option. Once you have voted, please come back to the page and  leave a comment saying you voted (so I can contact you) and you’ll go in the draw for a secret prize.

I want Sewjournal to be relevant to my readers. I love the two-way conversations we have via the comments and email and I’d like to do more of what keeps you coming back. Thanks for all your support.

The hand quilting thread poll is now closed. The results are listed below and you’ll notice they add up to more 100%. That’s because the numbers are rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Most popular hand quilting thread poll results:

  • Aurifil – 44%  – The Winner!
  • Gutermann, YLI – 18% each
  • King Tut, Coats- 6% each
  • Dual Duty, Presencia, Valdani, Mettler – 3% each

Sewing machine feedback poll – help me pick a new machine

I’m looking to buy a new sewing machine for quilting and patchwork and to take to classes – a  real one not a felt one like the pic, lol – and I’m interested to know which machine is the most popular. So, if  you’re happy with your machine, why not vote for it? This poll works slightly different to the others. Please select the appropriate maker’s name then in the “other” category type the model number and maker in brackets. I’ve a feeling there’s a popular maker I’ve left off so if that’s your machine just add maker and model number in the “other” category and I’ll sort out all the votes when the poll is closed.

Thanks for all your help.
