Yes....I have the same situation. I need to down size my quilting mags. I have unsubscribed to all the mags. I only purchase the mag if there are 3 projects i like......but I will purchase if there is one pattern that I love....love. I recently found myself looking through all the mags for a quilting pattern of a vine. So yes my tastes do change.... I am not sure if I should tear out the pages???? Or do I keep only mags with patterns i think i would make. :shock:

What I want to do is save the template inserts and certain patterns from each magazine, but am unsure how to go about it. I need to make room and getting rid of the bulk of the magazines is a must.
How do you go about organizing patterns and templates from magazines you no longer want?

This make me hesitate to discard any of my magazines. Especially as I have stopped purchasing them due to the expense.

Buy the clear plastics sheets that have the three holes attached and a large binder. Put the pattern picutre & instruction all in one sheet and add any notes that you want to make ie.Great pattern for little girt. If you want to be super organized divide your binder under categories such as Paper Piecing, Triangles, Squares, Helpful hints.
Good luck
