I subscribe to this magazine (I now see that Amazon is selling the subscription cheaper then if you do it through the magazine) and it is a very good place to get really beautiful cross stitch patterns in color. In fact, I like a certain artist named Joan Elliott who always posts her new cross stitch patterns here. Later you have to pick them up through her web site at $12.00 each.
Yes, it does come later than if you try and pick it up at Borders or Barnes & Noble but you get it at 1/2 the price by subscription then at the store! Also, if it is a good issue, it sometimes is sold out. So everyone should weigh out the good with the so called bad.
I have to say that I take great offense to what this person "Bookworm4" said about Americans. ("Why oh why do Americans always have to dumb everything down?" ) My goodness, this is NO place to express your dislike of Americans!! If you are American...shame on you! If you are English or whatever, from a foreign country and live in America...double shame on you! I am from Ireland but I am now an American citizen. It is people like you , who make comments like this, who should "Love It or Leave it" Go move elsewhere if it is so horrible here. I think the USA is the BEST and so is Amazon for giving us the great prices they do!!This is one of the better cross stitch magazines around, but the price is half of what it is here if you buy it from Barnes & Noble. I've also noticed that when you have a subscription, the magazine arrives over a month after it was actually available at a book store. This means you'll end up getting Christmas issues after Christmas.I understand the previous reviewer's comment regarding the price, but to give a single star gives the wrong impression. The magazine is magnificently produced. The charts are in color, with symbols, and very easy to read. The projects are beautiful and varied. What more could you want. It's worth every penny you eventually decide to spend on it.I just ordered this magazine directly from Cross Stitch Gold and paid $29.95 for a 1-year subscription. Why in the world would Amazon charge over three times as much for the same product??
