AJ I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. When I visited her site I wondered about that. The fact I would need to buy a template just to make one angled slope on a roof on a block I might not want to make again... And $20 for the pack seemed high too. She did seem to have other things that would be nice to have.
DH and I reverse design and draft patterns all the time so I want the nuts and bolts of it. :D I suppose everyone thinks differently. Good thing there are so many choices.
