🤗 I’m sitting with my Quilting Sister’s Stitch ‘n Chat group, separated as necessary for COVID, as this video goes live. Community is so important for all of us during these tough times. I’m so happy you’ve decided to be part of mine. ❤️❤️🤗🤗
Thank you for sharing your expertise with so much information. I enjoyed this and keeping this in my library. Going to watch again...I have many questions. Loved it
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!
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,,!!!!!!!!😘😘😇❤️🥰
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!
This was fantastic. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 TH-cam 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.
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.
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.
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!!!
Wow I can’t believe that I have missed your Quilt Circle until today. This was a wonderful and informative interview. I’m so excited that I have many, many more of your interviews to listen to while I work on my Sugaridoo QAL.
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.
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!!! 😃💕
I learned so many useful things from this video. My needle and thread knowledge has bounded forward. The life lessons were also invaluable. Thank you so much, Anita and Karen. So much common sense.
So true! I’ve watched this twice over a year period and had different take-home pearls each time. Hurrah to you both! Nancy in central PA and FL space coast.
YOU are an excellent interviewer. Respectful, vibrant, enthusiastic, knowledgeable questions with background info. Great! And what a knowledgeable lady. I’m riveted.
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!
@@bethbriggs9629 ... Yes!! I subscribed to his channel several months ago. Some of his videos with his wife simply made me cry...they're such a beautiful couple. Many of his quilts he simply donates! He's currently embracing the pattern The New York Beauty.
@Stan Jones, I saw him getting the stuff for the New York Beauty, wasn't sure if he was going to start it yet. It's going to be beautiful. They are a great couple, aren't they?
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.
I have been quilting for almost a year. I am not a part of a quilting club here around where I live. In Florida. However, I have welcomed a few ladies in my home that in my heart, are such interesting wonderful friends. Karen, you are one of those precious ladies. I am a seamtress, I still make time for a few crafts, but I have fallen in love with quilting. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos. Thank you for being so encouraging. I love your spirit of joy. 💙💙💜💚
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.
Wonderful video, so much great information. Please bring Anita back, she was so interesting to listen to and has such a great attitude to quilting and life. Great start to your Quilt Circle, thank you Karen
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.
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!
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‼️
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!
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!
Excellent topic, Anita is fascinating and inspiring and her enthusiasm infectious. The questions were over the top making the podcast one of the best I have ever heard! Really impressive start. Can’t wait to enjoy the next ones. Thank you so much!!!!
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!))
This was just a wonderful presentation! I would love to hear from her again! Karen, I'm so very excited about this series. If they are all this good, you've got me hooked! THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for this great video. Both of you are excellent teachers and speaker, and both are beautiful ladies. Yes, I meet Anita many years ago(late 1990's) as I lived in the Niagara area and she in Dundas. Yes she still is the same enthusiastic person that I knew back then.
Karen and Anita...thank you both so much for this collaboration. I purchased the varying sizes of Superior topstitch needles...oh my gosh! Changing the needle size made a world of difference in my stiches...they are perfection. The needles are penetrating the fabric like butter!!! Thanks again!!!
Fabulous information and conversation. Anita is so inspiring. Dealing with her health issues and remaining so positive. Her information is so valuable. Thank you for sharing with us, Karen and Anita!
Wonderful interview & most informative. My use for that old thread that is questionable is to use it in crafting. Especially dipping it on glue, winding it around blown balloons for Easter egg decorations. Youngsters love yhis project & it is just one way to keep stuff out of the landfill. Thanks for another great interview.
I just watched this interview This lovely lady is so interesting n knowledgeable on this these subjects, I would encourage her to multi video conversation on quilting n all accessories that go with quilting. I am very sorry to hear of her health issues, I will pray for her continue health n to stay strong 💪 keep doing what she loves. What we love. I am joining her instagram account. Thank you 🙏 For sharing her with you quilting community She is asset! Just loved her !
Stunning interview!! She is concise on her topic as well as being charming and down to earth. A lovely woman interviewed by another lovely woman. Please don’t stop this type of interview style videos. I loved every minute.
Karen, OMG! I knew just enough to know I didn’t know anything! Have been sewing since I was a child. I’ve dabbled in quilting projects and decided it was for me. Then my closest quilt shop closed right before COVID. So the internet has been a wonderful thing for me. Please keep your podcasts coming. God bless you and your family.
Karen and Anita, Thank you so much!!! Please, please, please do another video!! I have learned so much, in fact I’m going to watch it again with note book and pen in hand to make my own notes. I cannot say that I’m a beginner anymore but, I still don’t know enough... Again thank you!
What an amazing woman! Even though this interview was 3 years ago, I thoroughly enjoyed hearing what Anita Zobens had to say about threads, needles in various quilting situations. I only began quilting about 18 months ago but had sewn clothing or whatever with my mom and grandmother since I was big enough to reach the foot pedal. I am very much enjoying my quilting journey, especially when I learn from someone with so much experience as you, Karen and Anita! Thanks again!!!
LOVED this convesation, thank you! I watched it twice and took notes. Please have Anita back for more Thread talk! I'd be grateful to go deeper into her vast knowledge. A great podcast, thank you Karen!
Great start Karen!!! I don't even quilt!!! I just enjoyed watching and learning about threads and needles, because I do sew. Mostly on paper, Oh I should have said cover your eyes for a few seconds when I said Paper! I make junk journals, and I love to sew for them. Have a great day!!! Congratulations on your "The Quilting Coach " series!!!🎉🧵✂️🧷🪡💐
What an amazing woman ❤️ She has the best attitude in spite of what life has dealt her. I know this is an older video but I learned so much from it. Glad I ran across it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad this video is available. Listened for the second time, got even more out of it. After my first listen, I ordered some Superior topstitch needles. I’m a new quilter and new to my machine, but have been sewing for more than 60 of my 74 years. Thank you for bringing her to us and for giving her a chance to share with your listeners-👍
That was awesome. I had taken one of her thread bar workshops and she was a fabulous instructor. It was a great refresher. Hope you get another chance to have her as a guest again. I love her outlook on life!
🤗 I’m sitting with my Quilting Sister’s Stitch ‘n Chat group, separated as necessary for COVID, as this video goes live. Community is so important for all of us during these tough times. I’m so happy you’ve decided to be part of mine. ❤️❤️🤗🤗
Can you advise me on why. When I use my walking foot that my bobbin stitch threads are loopy rather than stitches?
50 minute video is way too long when you have many other videos to watch. Please make another video summarizing how to choose the right thread
This was very helpful!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing your expertise with so much information. I enjoyed this and keeping this in my library. Going to watch again...I have many questions. Loved it
@@Babs-Veterans-are-Family I didn't even notice how long it was. I was listening while working
Anita is a gem! Her sewing and thread knowledge is so expansive but her outlook on life is what’s really grabbed my heart. Great show!
Yes, bring Anita Zobens back. She’s fabulous. Such a wealth of information.
An absolutely wonderful woman! Thank you for sharing her with us all!!
Yes please, do a video showing us how to make a “thread bar” book!! Another great idea from you.
What a lovely woman. Please bring Anita back. Her positive attitude is amazing. Thank you to you both.
this is the best thread discussion I have ever heard. As a novice quilter this is a huge help. The interview also has so many great life lessons.
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!
I’m loving everything about Anita’s attitude regarding quilting and life. She is an inspiration. So self actualized! Oh, and Karen? You are loved! 😉

Karen, thank you so much for organizing this talk. Anita is a wealth of knowledge and I've learned so much about thread and needles!! Amazing.
Anita is amazing
I ❤️❤️❤️ your interviews. THANK YOU😍😍😍
Karen, thank you for caring enough for the projects your followers are doing to give us Anita Zoben's thread talk! What an amazing woman! Like you!
So many questions answered! Thank you Anita and Karen 😊💕
YES! Thank you Karen, for all this vital information.

dont know how i missed this one. Anita is amazing she is so right about the slowing down.
Thirty seconds in and this is my favorite series.
Tank you. No one ever taught me about thread
Also i am unironically excited about having some male quilters in \o/
Wow I can’t believe that I have missed your Quilt Circle until today. This was a wonderful and informative interview. I’m so excited that I have many, many more of your interviews to listen to while I work on my Sugaridoo QAL.
I think I am watching these in reverse. I had many questions about thread and needles answered. Thank you!

I need to purchase needles so I watched this again. Who knew needles & thread are so fascinating?
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.

So useful. Aren’t we just blessed by her presence?

Thank you for educating us!
What a lovely interview between two generous and fabulous quilters. I enjoyed this so much.
FANTASTIC !!!!! Thanks
Oh my. Everything that keeps me awake at night answered in one video. Thanks!
Fabulous information and conversation. Anita is so inspiring. Dealing with her health issues and remaining so positive. Her information is so valuable. Thank you for sharing with us, Karen and Anita!
What a fascinating interview! 🤩
Thank you so much to you and Anita Zobens. I am sick too and it was so wonderful to listen to Anitas view on life and quilting with diseases.
What a wonderful person, she is so real and down to earth, just love her. Actually love you both!
This is an absolutely perfect video format, I find your videos so relaxing so something this length is absolutely ideal
Glad you enjoy it! It's meant for listening while doing something else. Whereas my weekly video is made for consumption during a coffee break.
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts I will definitely be cross-stitching with this in the background
Another great video. Anita is a very interesting, energizing talented lady to listen to! Looking forward to more great stories!

Especially dipping it on glue, winding it around blown balloons for Easter egg decorations. Youngsters love yhis project & it is just one way to keep stuff out of the landfill. Thanks for another great interview.
I wish I would have heard this when I started sewing quilts! I learned so much. Shredding, broken threads etc. Now I know why and can go forward.
So glad to hear
I just watched this interview
This lovely lady is so interesting n knowledgeable on this these subjects, I would encourage her to multi video conversation on quilting n all accessories that go with quilting.
I am very sorry to hear of her health issues, I will pray for her continue health n to stay strong 💪 keep doing what she loves. What we love.
I am joining her instagram account.
Thank you 🙏

Just loved her !
Thank you! I learned so very much. I can’t wait to share this video with my quilting friends. I’d write more but I want to watch the video again!
Awesome! You’re both amazing!
I am so glad I saw this. Not only was the information great, but I appreciated the very powerful comments about dealing with Covid.
Fantastic interview, Anita is such a neat lady.

Karen and Anita, Thank you so much!!! Please, please, please do another video!! I have learned so much, in fact I’m going to watch it again with note book and pen in hand to make my own notes. I cannot say that I’m a beginner anymore but, I still don’t know enough... Again thank you!
Please bring Anita back. She has so much to great wisdom to share. Thank you!
What an amazing woman! Even though this interview was 3 years ago, I thoroughly enjoyed hearing what Anita Zobens had to say about threads, needles in various quilting situations. I only began quilting about 18 months ago but had sewn clothing or whatever with my mom and grandmother since I was big enough to reach the foot pedal. I am very much enjoying my quilting journey, especially when I learn from someone with so much experience as you, Karen and Anita! Thanks again!!!
Thank you Karen. Anita is delightful. Best wishes.
OOH! Yes, please do a major video on making a stitch/needle book! That would tremendously helpful.
LOVED this convesation, thank you! I watched it twice and took notes. Please have Anita back for more Thread talk! I'd be grateful to go deeper into her vast knowledge. A great podcast, thank you Karen!
Great start Karen!!! I don't even quilt!!! I just enjoyed watching and learning about threads and needles, because I do sew. Mostly on paper, Oh I should have said cover your eyes for a few seconds when I said Paper! I make junk journals, and I love to sew for them. Have a great day!!! Congratulations on your "The Quilting Coach " series!!!🎉🧵✂️🧷🪡💐
I ❤️❤️❤️ stationary
What an amazing woman ❤️ She has the best attitude in spite of what life has dealt her. I know this is an older video but I learned so much from it. Glad I ran across it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad this video is available. Listened for the second time, got even more out of it. After my first listen, I ordered some Superior topstitch needles. I’m a new quilter and new to my machine, but have been sewing for more than 60 of my 74 years. Thank you for bringing her to us and for giving her a chance to share with your listeners-👍
That was awesome. I had taken one of her thread bar workshops and she was a fabulous instructor. It was a great refresher. Hope you get another chance to have her as a guest again. I love her outlook on life!
Thanks so much. I've learned so much with this talk. I look forward to more talks sponsored by Karen. Keep up the great work. Happy quilting!
I never knew! Thank you so much for this wonderful interview!! I'm taking notes. / Kathleen Ross, Jupiter, FL.
