I was a bit disgruntled when I spent $40 on a pattern (Jacqueline DeJohnge) at the IQF and it doesn't come with all the pieces needed. Instead you have to do a lot of copying. I would have paid more just to have that already done!
And Judy N's patterns are gorgeous both on the cover and in real life. Next time I want a super challenging one, I will definitely consider this one!
I have to admit that Judy's patterns come with all the patterns and seam allowances for the entire quilt and that is part of the money and she also sold extra paper for those who wanted to make more.
Since most of what I do, I use the freezer paper so I have most of the paper left for the WRS and the plain WR. I know i have them somewhere.
It;s too bad she doesn't give you a choice of just the main pattern parts, so one can make their own and offer the paper as another item.
The Jacquline DeJonge pattern came as a map with no seam allowance. You had to make another copy and add the seam allowances. And since the the pattern page was so large, you had to take it to Kinko's and that was another 20.00 besides the 48.00 that I paid already. There was no reasonable way you could make it without the map on the wall to help you.
Nope, not doing it anymore.
