Cross Stitcher magazine

I used to subscribe to Cross Stitcher magazine, when it was part of
Clapper Publishing. I got one in the mail yesterday, with a notice
that they want me back as a subscriber. Now I see it's part of Amos
Craft Publishing. I didn't know that. And it seems like half the
magazine is Amos Advantage trying to sell craft supplies. Their price
for DMC is .38/skein. I'll wait till WalMart has it on sale for 4 or
5 for $1. The 4/07 issue had 15 new designs, 3 were for Easter, 2 for
St Patrick's Day. Not alot of variety, IMO.

When did the change to Amos happen? I'm not real impressed with it.
What does everyone else think?

Amos bought Clapper last March. I lost interest in The Cross Stitcher
several years ago. Sounds like it hasn't improved any since that time.

I'm still a subscriber because I was in the middle of a multi-year
deal when the change took place. And I've barely looked at it since
then. I won't be renewing.

If you seriously don't care for it any longer you should check to see if you
can cancel your subscription and get your remaining money refunded. Put it
toward a subscription to a magazine you'll enjoy.

Just this morning I subscribed to what I think is a **great** newish,
innovative, web-based cross stitching magazine coming out of
Australia:

Among other delights, they're running a multi-part mystey sampler from
Long Dog.

You enabler, you! I had been meaning to do the subscription, and, well,
since I was sitting up here arguing with the HOA business office, etc-
seemed like a good treat to do it. So, I just did. As if I needed this
-well. And bought a couple of back issues that had something I wanted (not
to mention part 1 of the Long Dog mystery sampler).
