Quilt It Today Magazine
 

Does anyone subscribe to Quilt it Today Magazine? Did you recive Sept/Oct 2014 issue? When I noticed I didn't receive my Sept/Oct 2014 issue I tried called the publisher (Valu Publishing) and also the magazine. The magazine phone is disconnected and all you get at the publisher is voice mail. There is also no email contact on Quilt it Today's website. So seems they are out of business. I have a paid subscription through 2015. Guess I am out of luck.

I hate it when that happens. Sometimes the publisher will move your subscription to a different magazine.

On the Quilt It page there is a contact phone # or link to an email address. When I clicked on that it gives this email addy of [email protected] if that helps you at all? It's weird though because allamericancrafts page doesn't show that magazine title. Hope you can get an answer.

Please keep us posted if you manage to get some results... :)

Thanks thimblebug6000 for the email link. I have sent an email, now wait and see if I get any response. My guess is the magazine went belly-up!

Bummer if it went belly up. So many quilt magazines have recently debut in the last few years.

Now that you mention it, I haven't received my Sept/Oct 2014 issue. I also have a subscription for a year.
l will watch this thread. Please post if you learn anything. Thanks.

....it does seem that the "main mags" had then branched out to other mags.....and really all the same designs in different colors! - some nice and others were ouch to the eyes........now, I think since so much is on line free or pay, mags like newspapers have to really tighten their belts and just get down to a few good ones.......I, personally, have not renewed on any mags in over two yrs...if I look thru one or two at local store and see something, I may buy....have even thinned out old books and mags. Noticing how many repetitive patterns in them......but I have been doing this for a long time....newbies probably have different thoughts on the subject........

All magazines are having a hard time -- a friend of mine designs for several of them and mentioned a month ago that some just went out of business -- unfortunately I can't remember the name of the company. They closed the doors right before an issue went to press.

I subscribed to Quilt It Today in April 14 and have never received a magazine. I have tried to call but with no results. I will try the email address above. Thanks thimblebug6000.

I have that issue. I bought it from a newsstand at the grocery store. First time I had seen it.

I haven't received mine either and I'm subscribed until April 2015. That stinks!!!!

Update - I just searched online and their webpage came right up. Everything looks normal to me. Maybe there was a glitch somewhere. I did email them. We'll see!!

I stopped subscribing to all magazines several years ago. I have have lots of quilt books, get patterns online or just make up my own patterns. Since I use my free time for just quilting, I don't take time to read magazines.
Seems most of them want to sign you up automatically for several years.

I e-mailed them aboput my subscription but haven't heard a peep from them.

I'm also waiting for my Sept./Oct. issue.

My favorite mag was The Quilt Life. It had good articles along with a few patterns. However, its last publication is October. Glad I didn't renew this year.

I e-mailed D. Hearn, who was the editor.
She messaged back saying the company went bankrupt in August and she lost her job. She apologized, saying that she wished could do something for her subscribers to refund their money. She added that she wasn't sure how it would be resolved.

Guess we have lost our money.

Thanks tapper, you seem to have gotten more info than anyone else has been able to. I haven't received any replies to my emails or voice messages. I think that's a pretty crappy way to treat your customers. Even if we have lost our money which is likely, an email or letter would surely be considerate. I think I am done subscribing to quilt magazines other than "Block" from Missouri Star Quilt Company.

I didn't subscribe to Quilt-Today Magazine. However, I subscribed to Valu-Publishing's other magazines Crochet 1-2-3 and Sew it today and I'm paid through 2015. Copies of these magazines haven't been mailed to subscribers but they are still sold on newsstands and in stores, interesting. I wonder why the editor didn't mention this, eh? So Valu-Publishing appears to be ignoring it's contractual obligation to it's subscribers while they are still continuing to publish these magazines and sell them in stores.

There is a similar thread concerning Valu-Publishing on Knitting Paradise and Crochet Forum (subscribers not getting issues of Crochet 1-2-3 & Knitting 1-2-3 they paid for). Since it appears the may have gone bankrupt the subscribers are probably out of luck. I'm glad these weren't very expensive subscriptions, but it still irritates me they appear to have gotten off the hook to the subscribers. Obviously if these publishers have declared bankruptcy they have known there were in a poor financial position for a long time and should have ceased taking subscriptions when this was known. I didn't subscribe to Crochet 1-2-3 until late spring and have received only one issue. It will be a cold day in h___ before I subscribe to another magazine. I can afford the loss, but I feel sorry for the lady on the Knitting Paradise forum who had to save for months to buy a subscription to a magazine published by Valu-Publishers and then not get the magazines for which she scrimped and saved. Shame on them!

Just wanted to add that subscribers to Crochet 1-2-3 & Knitting 1-2-3 haven't received their magazines since June 2014. Some folks paid for subscriptions just after the first of the Year (2014) and have yet to receive any magazines. I have received only one magazine under my Crochet 1-2-3 subscription (Sept/Oct 2014 issue), I should have gotten two by now. I am also one magazine short on my Sew it today subscription (Sept 2014 issue). I also had trouble last year getting the magazines under my Sew It Today subscription -- I had to call reader services to get the missing magazine. This was approx 1 year ago. I figured this was just a one time problem and it had been corrected. I should have known better than to subscribe to another magazine published by this company.

I bought 2 subscriptions in April, one for myself and one for my sister, we have never received an issue. I emailed them the end of June, was told issues would arrive July 18th, nothing, now the subscription links don 't work, ph numbers don't work. I did send email to editor, no reply. Left message with publisher, no reply, even said we would be happy with a year's worth of past issues.. Called credit card company, was told they needed to be notified in 60 days in order to be able to do anything. My first email in June to the magazine would have been within the 60 days but since they said it was coming I didn't call credit card co.

I have tried e-mails to all addresses that I can find and called all phone numbers that are listed - and no response to anything. I subscribed when the magazine first came out, and my subscription doesn't run out until April of 2015. Would love to know if anyone is able to actually contact them.

Hi mspatche,
I think we are all of of luck. No one seems to be able to contact the magazine or to receive any answers back from phone messages or email. I'm thinking maybe we should all contact the Consumer Protection Agency in NJ where Valu-Publishing is located. 973-504-6200

I just spoke to the woman that used to be the vice president of the company. They are definitely no longer in business.
Lost money on advertising in two of their magazines........

Yep...I have been scammed too!!! Subscribed to this magazine until April 2015 and tried to change my address in September, just received the change of address back as "address not valid." Phone numbers have been disconnected and sure the email I sent will come back too. You would think they would at least have the courtesy to let their customers know. It's not a ton of money to lose...but like many others think I am just going buy at the store from here on out. UGH!
