I just read my new F&P issue this weekend and it had a WOMENS CLOTHING AD booklet stuck in the middle. I don't subscribe to a QUILT mag to see clothing ads !! If I want to shop for clothes, I'll go to the store. I want to see QUILTS in my quilt magazines. Did this BOTHER anybody else or just me ??
Also, I thought the issue just wasn't very good. Didn't see one pattern I even liked. Seems like even they have gone to mostly fabric co/ designer projects, like Fabric Trends mag & The Quilter. I don't think I'll be renewing F&P again. :(

That just happened to me with a magazine. I paid the bill through Bill Pay at my bank and it took them two months, and two more bills, and an email to their processing department telling them I already paid it!

I have troubles because subscriptions are not forwarded by the post office. They just notify the mag co that you've moved. So I change my address spring and fall as we are snow birds. This winter when I did not receive my mag's I called and was told that they need 5 weeks notice for address changes. If it helps, this is the phone no for F&P. 1 888 729 9601. They were real nice when I reached them.
