I am on vacation and called to see if they could mail it to a different address so I didn't 'lose' the issue. The magazine is printed, packaged, and mailed from the publisher. Just a FYI. So if it doesn't get forwarded, they will issue a new magazine. Truthfully, the customer service is awesome at MSQC!
If I get one pattern out of an issue, I'm happy, as that's way less than one pattern costs. Usually, there are two or three. Plus, it's just fun to look through.
