I try not to buy magazines since I've been trying to declutter and this is one thing that can get out of hand. The online magazines are great as long as you can download them so that you have a copy of them if you need them. I like the embroidery ones because you get free designs and free projects and learn so much. There are also a lot of great sites and tutorials out there as well. I agree its nice to thumb thru a magazine but I'm trying to look at the other side where it takes less to store the online magazines. Plus with online videos, it's like most everything else, you have to go thru lots of them to get to what will work for you. I think we are lucky to live in a time with all of the information available to us online, even if you have to really pay attention to what you read and realize not all of its 100% true.
