| 10/13/26 |  What I Did on My Summer Vacation | Send us feedback about this episode! This week I’m turning the mic on myself. I spent most of this past summer planning for a new business. A few weeks ago, I launched Sew Something Studio, a new in-person sewing school in Kalispell, Montana. In this episode I walk through what it actually took to get it off the ground: why I decided now was the time; building the website; finding a location (and what makes a space work for sewing classes); getting machines and tables in place; and getting th... | 28m 06s | ||||||
| 10/6/26 | Too Cool T-Shirt Quilts | Send us feedback about this episode! Every T-shirt quilt you've ever seen owes something to this week's guest. Andrea Funk invented the puzzle-style T-shirt quilt back in 1992 — ditching the uniform square block in favor of variable-sized pieces that let every graphic, logo, and collar print stay whole and uncropped. In this conversation, Andrea walks through how she landed on the puzzle-piece layout, the practical realities of working with knits, stretch, and graphics, and the details involv... | 41m 09s | ||||||
| 9/29/26 | Telling the Untold Stories | Send us feedback about this episode! T Carter's quilts don't just tell stories—they tell the stories history books leave out. As a trained historian and a national award-winning fiber artist, T pairs research with quilting to spotlight voices of women, people of color, and indigenous communities, from forgotten tribes to a small-town gas station's bootlegger legend. Join Janet as T shares how quilts bring those stories to life through fabric. Show notes for each episode: www.thestraight... | 36m 21s | ||||||
| 9/22/26 | What's New in Machines | Send us feedback about this episode! Every sewing machine brand seems to be releasing something new this year—but is any of it actually new, or just a new box for the same machine? We round up what's genuinely changed across sewing machines, sergers, and coverstitch machines from every major brand, brand by brand, so you can hear what's real without wading through marketing copy yourself. Show notes for each episode: www.thestraightstitchpodcast.com My website: www.janetszabo.com See my sewin... | 28m 30s | ||||||
| 9/15/26 | Making Peace with Your Stash | Send us feedback about this episode! Do you know exactly how much fabric you own? Would you tell anyone if you did? Between the guest-room closet, the bins under the bed, and "the good stuff" you're saving for someday, most of us carry more fabric guilt than we admit. Let's unpack where that guilt actually comes from, practical ways to organize a stash that's gotten out of hand, and how to let fabric go without feeling like a failure. Your stash should be a resource, not a regret. Show notes ... | 35m 13s | ||||||
