All the magazines are now being enclosed in a wrapper. I can see the point, no one wants a magazine with stuff missing, dirty, or articles torn out. However, why can't they put a small image index somewhere where you can see what is inside? Right now, I'm looking for small Xmas ideas, it will say Christmas Crafts on the front, and if you do buy the magazine, it's a full sized quilt! I hate buying stuff I don't want. I have no objection to buying the magazine for a pattern I do want.

Is there a list of web sites anywhere where you can get a pictorial preview of what's in each magazine? I found McCalls, they did a nice job of showing the index. Others just seem to have the articles printed with no picture. I found more but no real info. Just looking at the magazine sites that showed up in search wasn't a lot of help in most cases.

Like I said, I will buy the magazine if it has what I want. Some mags have gossip, recipes for cookies and other articles I'm not interested in. Nor do I care if the pattern was supplied by someone well known in quilting circles, or just a reader submission. I also don't need articles about what to have in stash, I have my own ideas, I will fix up the sewing room my way, so that's another piece of info that I don't want.
