However, I do think it would be presumed that you would be buying an "actual" packaged pattern unless it is stated otherwise in the items description.
I can understand your frustration, as well as your questioning this deceptive sale.
Yes, this is exactly what I expected. An actual pattern in a 5x7 clear envelope. I was even surprised to receive such a lg. envelope.
Thank you all for your input & advice.
You made me curious so that I went back to read the description. She does state twice that the pattern is orig. pages from a magazine. Guess I need to read more thoroughly in the future. I usually do but it was so cheap I didn't bother. Must be legal then. Oh well, I've learned so much from all of you about it.
