I tear out what I like. I buy the see through notebook inserts, slip them in the plastic insert, and put them in large spiral ring notebooks. You could have a notebook for runners, one for quilts, wall hangings etc. I've found the large business notebooks at sales for 50 cents each.

We moved a couple of years ago to a smaller house and I didn't have room for all the crates of old quilting magazines so I copied what I wanted and donated the rest. I do not now subscribe to any of them and find I have plenty of patterns that I copied and many more are available on line for free. The new magazines are mostly ads anyway and I seldom see anything I really want to make.

I had a subscription to American Patchwork & Quilting, but not renewing it, and I bought the first Quilting Quickly, I just go through them a couple times, and only keep the ones that I'm pretty sure I'll make something from. Give others to a quilting friend. Too many free patterns!

Remember, 85% of a magazine is advertising. Tear out what you think you would ever use and take the rest to the Goodwill. Someone else will like what you didn't. I use the slip in pages and have a book for bags, baby, etc. I don't like applique so never take those out, etc. We will not live long enough for the magazine to become valuable but if I keep to many I use up to much FABRIC storage....

I make kits of the patterns I want to make and put the magazine in with the kit. Sometimes I copy the pattern pages and put them in with the kit in clear plastic page covers. It's fun to just pick out a kit and everything is all together to make the quilt. I put them in gift bags and store them in my studio closet. I do not include the backing. It gets chosen when the quilt is completed. I must say that I do still have a stack of quilt magazines in that closet too. I like to get them out sometimes and look through them. I don't subscribe to the magazines anymore. The only quilting magazine I buy now is the Quilting Quickly that comes out quarterly. It includes all those precut patterns that are so quick and easy to do.
