Thanks so much for all your opinions and taking the time to write them. I love this Board!!! And people like you all make it happen. I think I will give it a shot...mainly to get the pattern. I am assuming you will have to sign up for the year to get all the patterns for the 12 months? Or can you sign up for 6 mos. and download the pattern. I will check it out. But like one of you mentioned you have to think of it as the cost of a year's subscription to a magazine in combination to the much lesser price of the pattern that I would like to get!
