First release : 14 Jun 2011
App size: 10.77 Mb
For crafters, couturiers or connoisseurs... Selvedge magazine is for everyone who loves textiles. Inspiring and informative, Selvedge is the only magazine to cover every facet of textiles – interiors, fashion, fine art, travel and shopping – in an intelligent, stylish and contemporary way. We cover textiles made with time, thought and skill in a magazine produced in exactly the same way. Published every other month, each issue offers quality writing, the world’s best textile photography and original illustration.
The magazine is now available in the App Store. The Selvedge app is a convenient, environmentally friendly digital format that allows you to enlarge images and text or link directly to websites and advertisers.
In the coming months this exciting new platform for Selvedge will evolve to include digital-only content – interviews, unpublished material, video and a behind the scenes look at each issue.
The iPad/iPhone edition brings you selected pages from the latest issue as soon as it is published. You can subscribe within the application for full access, which brings you every page of the issue and a searchable archive of more than twenty back issues. Issues are not sold individually - for the duration of your subscription you have access to every issue in this archive.
During your subscription you can sync back issues to your device. These will remain in place if your subscription expires, unless your device removes them (for example when running low on disk space). Re-downloading issues requires a current subscription.
• Swipe or tap the page edges to flip to next/previous page.
• Use the animated thumbnail view to flick through the pages.
• Pinch or double-tap pages to zoom.
• Switch between single or double-page view.
• Search the current issue or the archive.
• Tap any page links to web sites, email addresses, phone numbers or maps.
• Tap contents-page links to jump to a particular article.
• Sync issues to your device for offline reading (requires wi-fi).
• Network connection required otherwise.
We recommend first running the app within a wi-fi area so it can sync the latest issue to your device - after that you can use it anywhere. Subscribers will receive new issues automatically via Newsstand.
Subscriptions are available within the app at the following prices:
£9.99 per two months
£49.99 per year
In addition, please note the following standard features of auto-renewable iTunes subscriptions:
• Your payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions will renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal by going to your Account Settings in iTunes after purchase.
• No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during active subscription period.

Latest reviews of Selvedge app for iPhone and iPad
This magazine is full of gorgeous images, textile history, contemporary textile artists and international exhibit reviews. I have the paper and iPad subscriptions. The iPad version is so convenient.
As an artist and fiber artist Selvedge Magazine has always been of interest to me. Very hard to find at book stores in my neck of the woods. But with this app I have access where ever and whenever. Fashion, Art, Knitting, Weaving, Home Decor... Just to mention a few of the subjects covered within every issue! Although you can get a wonderful sampling of the current months magazine on their web site this app has so much more. You get access to all the back magazines. Incredible! The price is in British pounds so when paying in American currency it will be more $$. If you are like me and you dont like paying that much for a magazine try to think of this as a unique opportunity to access the world of Fashion, Art, Knitting, Weaving, Home Decor.......and so much more!
Selvedge is a terrific textile magazine, but the e-copies you get with this app are not your. When a new issue is released, you no longer have access to previous issue, and if you unsubscribe you have no access even to the most recent issue that you paid for. If this is how all iPad Newsstand subscriptions work, I wont be using Newsstand.
I have brought the print version of the magazine in the past and brought one digital copy through the newsstand. I am sometimes slow, I did not grasp that you do not get to keep the copy until it was too late and my copy had disappeared. I would not mind spending the $12 if you got to keep it.
Thank you very much. Totally inspiring and delicious.
