First of all, congratulations on your 100th show! I am a huge fan of Michael Miller fabrics and fell in love with his patterns when I saw his fabrics being used by several Etsy sellers. I don’t know how he does it but they are really stunning!
Also, the show was fun to watch and very informative. I like knowing how my favorite businesses started out. Thank you for making this an awesome 100th show!

September 18th, 2008 at 6:32 am
I had never heard of Michael Miller fabrics before, but their fabrics are very cool. It was interesting to hear how the company started from very humble beginnings, and it is wonderful how successful they are now.
September 18th, 2008 at 6:36 am
I love your jingle. I love how Michael Miller combined their names and cool to hear how the business began. I love small supporting small businesses too. Only 30 core employees… I bet it feels like family to work there!
September 18th, 2008 at 6:57 am
That was a great show! Congrats on your 100th!
September 18th, 2008 at 7:10 am

September 18th, 2008 at 7:14 am
I have never hear of Michael Miller fabrics before this very moment; thanks for introducing me
.
I feel like I could support a company like that without violating the spirit behind the “handmade pledge”.
I’m so inspired by your show (happy 100th!) that I want to write my OWN catchy jingle and do pod casts! WOOWOO!
September 18th, 2008 at 7:55 am

Michael Miller Kitty Kids is one of my all-time favorite fabrics. I saw a dress (for grownups!) made of it once and have regretted not buying it ever since…

I think its great that Michael Miller fabrics is catering and keeping in mind all the home based businesses that exist now (not just independent fabric stores). Since their start in 1999 they obviously have remained flexible and aware of the changes in the market. Thanks for the chance! alicedemske@hotmail.com

Hi! I saw you through twittermoms and I’m falling in love with your website. I’ve got the podcast playing right now. I’m totally geeking out about it because I like crafting with fabric and am trying to broaden my horizons into actually sewing. It’s really educational to hear about how the MM business got started- 90 hour workweeks, GAH!- but facsinating nonetheless.
I’ll be back often! (Again, thank you for finding me on twittermoms!)
September 20th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Congrats on your 100th show!

September 30th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Congrats! First of all , I’ll just say that I LOVE the little intro song; so fitting!
I first experienced Michael Miller fabrics about a year ago and it has been Michael Miller all the way. I feel kind of silly now since I’ve told everyone all about “HIM” and “HE” is actually two people in one! Karen Miller and Michael Steiner. Quite a unique name and quite unique fabrics.
Being a new seamstress, I had no idea how fabric is actually made; thanks for the lesson. I love giveaways yes, but I adore it when I learn something along the way.
Thanks so much for the incredible giveaway.
September 30th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
WOW!! I can’t believe it’s your 100th show!! WTG and CONGRATULATIONS!!
September 30th, 2008 at 3:36 pm

I always look forward to new Michael Miller fabrics coming out

Congratulations of your 100th Podcast! Keep up the good work!
I would like to make a few comments regarding Disco Dot which Michael Steiner neglected to mention in his interview. Disco Dot is a licensed print, designed by Mark Hordyszynski, and licensed to Michael Miller Fabrics. It has been in the MMF line since 2002, Mark’s original three color combinations having spawned over a dozen variations since, and the pattern has sold close to 750,000 yards to date. Although Mark no longer contributes patterns to the line (he is now licensing to Blank Quilting – http://www.blankquilting.com), his designs are still being sold to retailers and manufacturers through MMF. His name can be found on the selvage of the prints he has designed.
