I have found each sub. is a little different, so it depends on what you are looking for: patterns, instructions, art etc. But beware: you can sub. but be sure to count your issues. I have been shorted by several companies, one even tred to short me a year. I no longer sub. for more than one year and wait until the very last minute to re-sub. Go the the Lib. or a book store and check out all the issues available and then make up your mind.
