Boy that's harsh!! lol, I don't think I can do that. I have tons and each time I want information I know where it is. I do make binders too but I print out the stuff for my binders from the magazines pages so not to ruin them and if I do want to get rid of some they are all there. They are like my fabrics just cannot get rid of nothing!! Sick, sick, sick. Just costs to much to replace I guess even with magazines. We will be moving and I will be taking all my sewing room collections, fabrics, books and all those magazines too. It's not fun being addicted to this hobby but better that than something really bad and un-healthy.
I've been married 56 yrs. so you can guess how much we are going to be moving with just sewing stuff. Well, happy quilter means happy wife.
Please think about all your patterns and magazine before you cut them up. Find another way, maybe like what I do.
take care quilters and make beautiful things.
