This mag is one of the few that includes pressing directions - a must in my book. Also gives alternative sizes for some patterns - and best of all, alternative color schemes. After 30 years of quilting, I still learn new things by studying the offerings in this magazine, as well as other BH&G publications, including gardening magazines.

I've had a subscription for years, along with McCalls Quilting, I like them both... the gotta' make list keeps growing!!!!! As far as the 101 quilting tips.... well, there probably are things in there that are helpful to a beginner ( just my opinion...) I didn't bother keeping it, it's just a leaflet anyway. Alot of the tips there are in the magazines every month.

I subscribe to this, McCalls and McCalls quick quilts. I like all of them basically because I am so color challenged. I just can't seem to be able to coordinate fabrics. I find lately that I really enjoy the McCalls quick quilts. It seems every issue I get there are 2 or 3 quilts that I really like. I guess because they are quick quilts most of them aren't too challenging. I guess the best way is to do as others say and just buy an issue. I know you will come up with the right answer. Good luck

I think it is a good magazine if you do alot of piecing. They have easy patterns but they don't include alot of applique info which I do. I got the magazine for several years then cancelled my subscription.

I enjoy this magazine and have made several quilts from their patterns. I am a relatively new quilter, I suppose if you have been reading quilting mags for 20 years it is probably harder to find things that seem new and interesting. I like to find ideas from many different sources, including this board, other internet sites, and magazines. My only problem with mags is that I can't stand to get rid of them!:)
I also subscribe to Mc Call's. Like that one, too.
