Why is Fons & Porter putting clothing flyer inserts into their magazines????

And it's for sizes 12W to 44 W.

Are they referring that women who quilt are on the large side???

That's just wrong!!!

I don't know why they are doing that but I found that and all the other postcard-size inserts a pain. I realize it doesn't take me anytime at all to remove them but I don't trying to read any magazine with those postcards falling all over the place.

I bought the magazien for the quilt patterns and articles, I resent the clothing ad included.

Most of the women in my guild are on the large size, or very tiny, nothing in the middle! How funny!! :roll:
Were the clothes cute, or the same old ugly things they try to sell to round folks? :roll:

LOL, mostly for the round folks... mostly t-shit type stuff. I ripped it out and threw it away. I want to see quilting stuff, not clothes in a quilting magazine.

I agree. I buy quilting magazines for quilting articles not to order a pattern for clothing.

I guess if the advertisements keep the cost of the magazine down, I can put up with them.

Betty, they are not selling patterns for clothing.... they are selling clothing..... not even clothing with quilting things on them.
