Welcome to Workshop on the Web, a quarterly publication exclusive to the internet, featuring the very best tutors from all points of the compass, giving step-by-step details of textile techniques and ideas for using those techniques creatively. Machine embroidery, hand stitching, mixed media work from metals to the latest developments in plastics technology and beyond - you'll find it all here. We review books and products and keep you in touch with all that's new.

And now it's even better. From this issue, we've merged our sister publication Quiltwow into Workshop on the Web. This gives you lots of extra workshops as well as the existing exciting and innovative articles we already bring you in Workshop on the Web. All for the same price of 15.50 pounds for a whole year's subscription (about US$25). Even more reason to sign up.

Undecided? We have provided a taster issue of Workshop on the Web which is entirely free and unrestricted (click the free taster button to view it). Future issues can be accessed by subscribers through a password. We promise that each issue will have at least nine workshop features, an interview with a well-known embroiderer plus other articles of general interest. Also, products - not just what's new but how to use them, book reviews, news and views. Add all this together and it's far more than a magazine - more like getting a new book every quarter.
