I stopped all magazine subscriptions several years ago. All said when I took out the first subscription that it is automatically renewed every year. I no it isn't. These were big name companies, not quilting magazines. Like I said, this was several years ago. I don't have time to read, other than local newspaper and quilt books I already have. One Magazine BH, use to send me renewal notices a couple times a year. When I finally took time to read the label I discovered I was paid up for about five years. I stopped that one too.
