I have the membership and i love the easy quilts magazine, especially that i have digital access to several previous years. Also my joann's discount i use a lot and made up for the membership price long time ago (that's how much i spend there) specially when buying sale or clearance you get 10% more it makes a difference. I didn't use much of the other coupons they sent out. So it is a preference depending on what you really need out of it.
