I just got an offer for a free issue, plus a free year when I get a one year subscription. What are your thoughts on this quilting magazine? I'm a fairly confident beginner, so I want to be sure there will be things in the magazines that I will be able to do. Any insight you can give is always appreciated.

Not one of my favorites.. It has too many advertising for my taste.. I let this subscription laps this year..

I do get:

Quilt
Fons & Porter for the love of quilting
Fons & Porter Easy quilts
BHG American patchwork- one of my fav's
McCalls Quick Quilts
Sew Scrappy

there's one more but I cant think of it right now.. A new one I just ordered..

I have given up magazine too many GREAT ideas here to do all of them

Quilter's World is pretty good. Seems like about 9 or 10 patterns in every issue, ranging in all skill levels. I've never had a subscription, but bought it a handful of times from a news-stand and have liked what was there.

Same here and I am sure I have learned lots more online--websites and QB. I have no intention in subscribing to another quilting magazine, although I'm sure I'll still buy books from time to time.

You can subscribe to Quilters World on line also. It isn't a lot cheaper but you don't have to find a place to keep the mag when you finish looking. You can print the patterns and you have access to the last years magazines

I like the magazine.

I get the digital subscription and I really like the magazine. Several projects and different skill levels.

I have liked the magazine. Usually nice patterns that are doable. I don't subscribe to it but had bought a lot of used Quilters World that I have enjoyed.

I bought a bunch of "old" magazines from someone on the board a few months ago - for a fraction of their original price. The fabrics out now are different, but the quilt patterns and tips never go out of style! And, silly me, I like to look at them and dream...kind of feels like the Sears "Wish Book" at Christmas made me feel as a kid.

My favorite quilting magazine is Quilt and Fons and Porter. but if I only had a choice of one I would pick QUILT it has a lot of the older quilt pattens in it which I love.

I don't usually buy any new quilt magazines, unless they have something I really, really like, will usually will either check them out at the library, or after they're out of date, they put them in the used book section where you can buy them for $.25, plus with all the free quilt patterns on the web, I figure I don't need to buy any, because as it is, I won't live long enough to make all the ones I want to that are in the magazines and books that I have, in addition to probably thousands I've got saved on my computer. LOL

I get the digital magazine and love it along with the subscription I can browse though 2 or more years of back issue great value for the money..

I love Quilters World, they have a variety of projects. The paper pieced heart quilt on the cover of the last issue is next on my list.

I subscribed a couple of years ago online, got 2 yrs back issues also. I don't subscribe to any magazines any more. Patterns in this one are mostly doable. Now, if you decide to order online, MAKE SURE you save the files (issues #...) on your PC. Otherwise you will not have access to your magazines after your subsciption ends. This is the only way you get to keep all those issues you paid for!

Please do check my other comment on this post : SAVE the files!
