that is one reason I quit all magazine subscriptions I had a 2 year subscription to 2 of them that I really liked they went out of business and I never did get a refund and in this day and age and postage going up again I expect several more to go so if I see one on the stand that has an interesting pattern in it I buy it then but that is getting harder as more of them are wrapped in plastic and I will not buy what I cannot see but I do have plenty of patterns and lots on the internet
