I used to find them annoying, but now I use all the inserts to make English Paper Piecing patterns. Gotta love recycling.

Actually, the women's sizes at Lane Bryant are rather pretty. My sister and I wanted to get a much loved, LARGE niece something pretty for Christmas, and looked in the shop we have here in the mall. Very pretty stuff, not too big for a lot of folks, and not Granny stuff either. Just a few tucks here and there and they might fit me and sister. We went with a cash for her, because we couldn't find anything we could agree on! Niece is adopted, lovely creamy skin with shining black hair, just a real sweet person.

Probably a paid advertiser- a little bit more annoying because it is booklet form - and they think quilters are their target market

We all know that quilters are going "batty". tee, hee

Maybe those ads are under 'contract' and like others stated it helps F & P 's business.
Us quilters come in all shapes and sizes, hopefully these ads are not taken in an offensive manner.
Do not know about other countries, but looking at the statistics, the American public is larger than the past generations.

On the subject of inserts....I really dont like when I pay postage for an item and have the package filled iwth ads and catalogs and booklets that weigh much more than the product. I want my postage to go toward what I bought,not the junk they put in!!!

I have no idea why they'd do that.....they should talk to the Hershey people to come up with appropriate ads.... :)

If these are cards placed in the magazine that are not glued in, you can use them as bookmarks for the magazine instead of turning the corner of a page down.
