I do cross stitch and buy the magazines the whole time, i find them great always have good free gifts and plenty of patterns inside.
I am considering getting a subscription to 2 of them as if you get 13 issues you are paying less for them. A couple of sites i have looked at for subscription are -
http://www.magazine-group.co.uk
http://www.whsmith.co.uk/Magazines.aspx
The WHS one i have subscribed to before for a diffent magazine i found it very good.
