Do any of you "Cuties" receive an embroidery subscription in the mail? I think my DH is going to get me one - he keeps asking me which is the best....and I do not have a clue?

Do you mean a subscription to an embroidery magazine? If so, I think Creative Machine Embroidery is the best. I have subscribed to it since it began publishing. You can check out their website at www.cmemag.com. They have good basic information as well as great projects.

It looks wonderful too! I want to be sure because these subscriptions are not inexpensive. Thanks for the input!*

I receive both of the subscriptions mentioned. I think I prefer Designs in Machine Embroidery over Creative Machine Embroidery. Just my opinion. Both are good and have good information. But if I had to choose only one I personally would choose Designs in Machine Embroidery

Are the project more to your liking? Do they give away from designs?

I don't mean to be a bum-er, but I would rather have a paid subscription to a embroidery web site. I can flip through the magazine while standing in line at the store. He! He! a freebie glance!!!!

My opinion: I was getting both Designs in Machine Embroidery and Creative Machine embroidery. I now get only Designs in Machine embroidery as I think it is better. I know you can flip thru at a grocery stand but......not like having it at your finger tips when you want. I wanted one embroidery magazine so I tried about all of the at one time or another and ended up with this one. Hope this has helped you. *4u all

Laura, that sounds great - but wouldn't you rather he spent the same amount of money that he would on a magazine - on designs or supplies for your embroidery? I would - but that is me - I do have a subscription to Designs in Machine Embroidery - but I only flip through it when it comes - then I look at the online one twice maybe. *4U

This is my DH's entire idea...and, yes, there are other things for embroidery I would love to have, but, I think it has something to do with how much he love getting his subscriptions (he is into solar power and wind turbines, etc). He is a sweetie!!!*

I have subs to both Designs in and Creative Machine Embroidery as well as Sew News. My adult male kids give the subs to me for Christmas...easy gift for them...then a gift certi. to Emb. Library or something for birthday! Love it. I like Creative a little bit better than Designs In...however, I must say I don't think I've done a single project out of either one!!
