I go to the library once a week with my hubby and I read them there. Our library gets all of the quilt magazines, at least the ones I read. If there is something I can't live without I photo copy it right there. Bring it home and store in a large binder.

Online or not, I paid by check through the mail, it doesn't make a difference. I love their magazine but I paid my subscription two months ago and have yet to recieve a magazine. I have, however, recieved at least two more bills and a thank you for subscribing with an offer to make it two years for only another $12.

I had the same problem until I emailed them telling them if I got one more notice that I had to pay, I would cancel my subscription and never subscribe again. A short time later I got a letter of apology telling me they would correct the problem. I haven't heard from them since.

I get my DH a sub to a mag that he really likes. It's monthly, 3 months into the sub I start getting the "it's time to renew" mailings. Every month! What a waste of postage, no wonder subs are getting so expensive. It's almost worth it to buy it at the store to keep he junk mail out if the mailbox.

Cathie_R, I have 10 years worth of magazine subscriptions. I
enjoyed receiving them and would love to make at least one quilt out of each magazine, but, I know, I'll never have enough time to make that many quilts.
I like the free pattern websites and pictures of quilts listed in Clothilde and other quilt magazines.
I hate to throw away the magazines because of the hard earned money spent on them.
Our Library has a good assortment of quilt books. Sew Many Quilts and Not Enough Time!! Eiltcoq.

The thing that annoys me is when Southern Living magazine sends a subscription offer for a year at close to $40.00 and then continues to send in offers for lower amounts. The last offer I received was 13 issues for $9.00 If you wait long enough you could get it for free LOL.

I just renewed their Quilter's Club of America. Could not get it to function on their site with my discounted $39 subscription, so I called them to place the order. Got my confirmation and they had charged me $59. I called them and they said they could not refund the money, but they would add three months to my subscription.....then I went into my account and they now have two subscriptions lasting only 12 months, not 15.,but I now have two subscriptions running simultaneously.
I'm calling again today.....or oops, they don't work on Saturdays or Sundays.
Frustrated in TX.
