I gave up buying Australian Patchwork and Quilting - and their other patchwork magazines years ago. They package them in plastic AND add another one or 2 back copies they can't get rid of, THEN make you pay for the extras as well as the current issue.
The only magazine I buy that is in plastic, is Australian Quilter's Companion - in fact it is the *only* Australian quilting magazine I do buy. The reason that is in plastic, is because they include a DVD in a hard case on a quilting technique. You can imagine how many of those that would go missing if they weren't wrapped.

I quit subscription except to QuilterWorld. I became tired of F&P. I was looking forward to their 25 anniversary, but I was disappointed. The only reason I still rec QW is because DH renewed for 2 yrs. Without asking me. He is a good man

I really scaled back on my magazine subscriptions a couple yrs ago when the prices just worth the content, espically when there seems to be so many ads.

I not only quit quilting mags but am in the process of stopping all the mags I now get when the subscrip expires. Need to watch my pennies. I do feel a bit sorry for the mag companies in that they are losing so many subscribers, hope they can keep going so their employees stay employed.

I'm with you all the way re: mags in stores. I have a sub to Quilters World; it comes wrapped in plastic. I'm glad of this because there are time I get mail that is completed ripped half way across the first 4 or 5 pages.Does anyone else have problems with their mail?
