Re: Magazine subscriptions

I have so many patterns that I have actually chosen, that to get a subscription and not like more then one in each issue doesn't make sense to me. But when I was building my stash of charts I did have a sub to Stoney Creek then they screwed me out of 3 issues claiming I owed more money. I had proof that I did not but they would not honor the contract so I said, "Go blow away." I did love their patterns though. And I had a sub to The Cross Stitcher but as I said before I would only find one maybe 2 per issue that I would like to stitch so let the sub run out. I was also given a bunch of mags from a friend and I got a job lot off e-bay once that was very nice so I have way more patterns then I can ever stitch so I do not have any subscriptions and don't intend to have any in the future.
I might start up subscriptions again, I'll keep an eye on the offers they have going though, if I'm going to give them money I might as well get something I like out of it 
One of them, I took out a sub at the NEC show and got a free bag full of plastic storage boxes and it is very useful. Like others have said there is usually only 1 or 2 charts I like and sometimes none that I will stitch as I have far too many kits and charts to last my life time but it's good when someone on here asks for a particular chart and I can get that issue and send it to them. 
I really look forward to it coming through the door but often now I feel a bit dissappointed. My WOXS has just expired and I don't think I will renew it
