I have been a subscriber since the first issue! In fact I've purchased gift subscriptions for quilty friends for Christmas. Great magazine! I love downloading and saving in a file the magazine and all the templates then going back when ready to print what I need. I've also tested patterns for them a few times. They encourage people to submit original designs. Everything about it is great! I have 3 years worth of monthly magazines in one folder on my computer instead of taking up tons of space and being lost/misplaced like paper magazines wind up
