I belonged (is that a word?) for over 10 yrs & I never got any thrills out of their magazines & didn't see much benefit to it either. One time I joined I did get a free pair of AWESOME scissors but the other stuff just isn't worth it.

I joined earlier this year and took advantage of the free book offer for joining mainly because I was looking at purchasing that particular book anyway. The weekly e-newsletters usually have something that I save to an e-file, usually an article or free pattern. I'm not real big on buying books....don't need to accumulate more "stuff"....but I have bought a couple of e-books that they offer for out-of-print books. Member's discount is nice, too.

I agree...I really like their magazine, and the 10% off at JoAnn is a bonus...even a $ or $$ is a savings. It costs the same as a magazine subscription, and you get it back if you buy enough fabric!! :-)

You are eligible to attend their annual quilt retreat. this year it is held at Lake of the Ozarks.

I'm one that let my membership lapse. I originally joined because I went to the show in Paducah. I didn't care much for the magazine, rarely shop at Joann's, and don't use the 10% discount off rental cars. There was another discount given, but I can't remember what it was for. I did get a free quilting book, but it was NOTHING that I would ever try or use, so I gave it away.

I bought a membership to save the 10% at Joanns. However, if an item is on sale, my Joanns' won't give the 10% off it. So I think it was a waste of my money. But that's just my opinion!

I have been a member for a few years and like it- enjoy the magazine, and the discounts, and the freebies are fun. Also, access to tons of patterns on their website. Overall, worth the cost.

The 10% is supposed to be good on sale items, but not on items for which you use a coupon.
