I settled back to read the latest F+P last night, and was confused. I started seeing the same pages....huh? Then I realized many of the pages are repeated and some are missing. The start of the trouble is on page 42--it then goes to 36 to 42 again, then jumps to 52... etc. How's yours?

camillacamilla 08-22-2009 02:19 PM

No- it sounds like a printing error in the one you got. Mine was fine.

Ninnie 08-22-2009 02:43 PM

Mine was fine, no problems

thimblebug6000 08-22-2009 02:46 PM

Maybe you can claim a prize from them for having such a special copy :)

Eddie 08-22-2009 03:07 PM

Mine was fine as well. I would contact them via their web site and request a replacement copy.

quiltluvr 08-22-2009 03:15 PM

Just got mine yesterday and it was OK too. Hope you get a replacement fast.

redquilter 08-22-2009 03:40 PM

Mine is Ok also. Contact them.

renee765 08-22-2009 05:18 PM

I'm sorry you got the dud.Mine is fine, too.

littlehud 08-22-2009 05:28 PM

Mine seems to be OK. Maybe if you let them know they will send you a new one.

tlrnhi 08-22-2009 05:35 PM

Oh, that sucks!
Maybe there is a hidden prize attached for getting one that is goofed up

azam 08-22-2009 07:36 PM

Mine is fine. Maybe they'll give you something for the inconvenience, no harm in asking.

nellie 08-22-2009 09:13 PM

Mine is OK too.

Connie1948 08-23-2009 05:45 AM

mine is fine

barnbum 08-23-2009 11:54 AM

Huh. I pictured all of them being goofed up. I did email them and they emailed back the same day asking for my zip code.. so must be I'll get a new copy. Weird.

Jim's Gem 08-23-2009 02:04 PM

I think mine was ok too. I have looked at it several times and nothing had jumped out at me.

barnbum 08-23-2009 02:07 PM

Oh you'd notice. My daughter was reading it and said "Mom! Is this the goofed up magazine???" When I told her yes--she was relieved--she, too, thought she was going crazy. :lol: It's very strange to come across pages you've already read when you haven't turned back... it's make a great Candid Camera scene. :lol:

butterflywing 08-23-2009 07:16 PM

quick! get them to sign it. someday it will be worth something with authentic autographs! HA! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...aughing008.gif

kd124 08-23-2009 10:47 PM

ok here.

reneebobby 08-24-2009 02:34 AM

Mines okay but when I get home I'm going to double check it.

butterflywing 08-24-2009 09:46 AM

mine's fine

WOW! That's some printing error. My copy is fine.

I would email them asking for a new copy. F & P have phone numbers and an email address in the front of the magazine. Good luck!

Pam Lingenfelder 08-25-2009 01:14 PM

I'm so sorry about your Fons & Porter's, I just checked mine and it's okay. Bet if you contacted them you might win a prize, that would be nice, like a years subscription. LOL Good Luck, Pam

barnbum 08-25-2009 01:15 PM

They're sending a new magazine--will take 1-2 weeks. :roll:

butterflywing 08-25-2009 01:31 PM

my dil recently got me a 2-yr subscription for mom's day. it's supposed to take 4 -6 weeks to begin. this was an extension of an existing sub that i already get. after 10 weeks, no go. when she called to notify them, they threw in the missing copy and extended the subscription by that month's amount. they should at least give you that extra month.

chickadee_42us 08-26-2009 04:18 PM

So - do you all like this magazine or is it on the upper talent side?

barnbum 08-26-2009 05:34 PM

Actually--I wasn't going to get it anymore... I like McCalls and Better Homes and Gardens...

MelissaK 08-27-2009 04:55 AM

Mine is ok

dakotamaid 08-27-2009 06:53 AM

I'm from fons and porter country here in Iowa. They are so accommodating, just email them and they will send another!

JoyG 08-27-2009 07:24 AM

Mine is just fine - I would call F&P and ask them to send another magazine -- you definitely want it because there are some really cute quilts on those pages that are messed up.

butterflywing 08-27-2009 08:25 AM

i like their mags and their shows. i've been getting the mags for years and i record all their shows for future viewing and sometimes saving ( what happens when i fill up my 100 hours? do i have to buy another reorder? can i save them to a dvd?) i like their projects.

Mamaskeeto 08-27-2009 08:28 AM

Mine was fine. Give them a call for a replacement.

mjsylvstr 08-27-2009 03:49 PM

I just got my Sept/Oct issue and got up from the computer after reading your question...mine is fine..other than it looks as though the cover and first few pages went through a grinder on the top half of the pages...didn't miss anything tho........

I missed an issue when coming home from Florida after the winter months and called them. They were wonderful and sent me another issue..no hassles at all.

try calling them...good luck..MJ in NJ

barnbum 08-27-2009 04:15 PM

If you gals read the replies... you'd see I did email and they are sending another copy--just takes 1-2 weeks they said. :wink: I think the prettiest quilts are on the missing pages. :D

butterflywing 08-27-2009 04:40 PM

oooh! they're definitely out to get YOU! :lol: :lol:

what did you ever do to them, anyway? better not do it again! roflmao!

cindy lou 08-29-2009 07:04 AM

just checked mine and it is fine too

sheri 08-29-2009 08:42 AM

I am also from finger lakes area in NY and yes my mag is confused also. do you know if they are going to do anything about it?

butterflywing 08-29-2009 08:54 AM

barnbum and sherri - make sure that they send the right issue. last time they needed to make up an issue, they sent one that was past newsstand age.
