    Has anyone subscribed to this website and if so, is it worthwhile?

    I have browsed their free stuff and looked at as much as I can without paying the $30 subscription and they seem to have some nice things but I would like some feedback from anyone before I decide whether it is worth paying for.

    Is it mail order (U.S. only or international) or can you download from the website?

    Any info would be appreciated.

    freecycle.org provides freebies and thjere is no charge. You sign on and go to your location and it tells you what groups are in your area. Works great here

    I had a subscription, but have since cancelled it. Just not my cup of tea.

    I have been thinking about joining as her patterns/directions for free have been to my liking but now I am wondering since reading your response. Could you go into detail about why you dropped your subscription and did they give you any hassle about it? Just trying to research as best I can before I make or not make a move in this direction. Thanks.

    I joined her site several months ago, and I'm happy with it. She has some very interesting patterns that you won't see any where else. She lives in Ecuador and has designed some pieces with Ecuadorean/Andean influence that I really like and she has a block of the month with matryoshka dolls, along with many others. It's easy to spend $30 for a couple of books so when you think of it like that it's not so much.

    I meant to add that you download all of her patterns ... no mail involved.

    Yes, that's the site.

    Being in Aust. I didn't want to pay a subscription and then pay postage on top. Being able to download makes a huge difference.

    Thanks for everyone's input.

    Tried the Aust. freecycle website but was unable to access their website. Will try again later. Thanks for the info.
