My grid is virtually full, but still no idea about the theme. Stitch seems to be the only answer that will fit 5a ,but I can't see how that fits the theme? Any help or ideas please?

Am in exactly the same predicament as Scarlett! Could someone meanwhile confirm the following clued solutions:
9a orthomorph
34d pekoe
6d thermic
35d ?E?E?
21d acanthae
Even if these are correct,I can't see why!
And just a clue on "bad taste",perhaps? I'm going nuts here!
