A.3 How to Find the FAQs
_________________________________________________________________
Craft stores (especially those which specialize in needlework) are
good places to find needlework magazines. Large bookstores with
well-stocked magazine sections are also worth checking.
Here is an alphabetical list of some of the available magazines.
Please let me know if you have any corrections or additions.
Descriptions are necessarily brief, and are just intended to give a
feel for the types of needlework included.
Some of the entries have a "Entry added/modified:" line which shows
the date the entry was last modified. I first started to include this
line on April 20, 1996. If an entry lacks such a line, it was added or
last modified prior to April, 1996.

A. About the Needlework FAQs
A.1 General Comments
Welcome. This is one of several Needlework Frequently Asked Questions
(Needlework FAQs) documents for the rec.crafts.textiles.needlework
Usenet newsgroup on the Internet.
The FAQs are a collection of information that should be of use to
people who do many kinds of needlework. They include lists of
magazines, mail order companies, guilds, events--even conversion
tables. The hints and tips contained here have been collected from
many people who have been kind enough to share their wisdom with
rec.crafts.textiles.needlework.
Although efforts are made to make sure that the information in this
FAQ is correct, this document is provided as is, with no warranties or
guarantees of any kind either expressed or implied. Any commercial
products or services are listed as a courtesy to the reader. No
endorsement or value judgement is expressed or implied.
Please send comments and corrections to me.

A.2 Document History
This document is one of the successors to the original "Counted Cross
Stitch FAQ", first posted to the old rec.crafts.textiles newsgroup on
April 20, 1994. The CCS FAQ moved to rec.crafts.textiles.needlework on
September 17, 1994, when the newsgroup was created.
In June, 1995, the contents of the "Counted Cross Stitch FAQ" were
split into two new FAQs--the "General Needlework Information FAQ" and
the "Counted Cross Stitch and Counted Thread FAQ". In February, 1996,
the two FAQs were split into a collection of Needlework FAQs.
Thanks to the people who have given permission for their messages and
postings to be quoted directly. The names are given where quoted.
Special thanks to those people who read the draft of the original
"Counted Cross Stitch FAQ" for their time, care and suggestions.
