I would much rather create my own pattern. In fact I always have right from the begining. It is way too expensive to purchase and It really is very easy to make your own even if you cant draw. Coloring books are great, the internet just copy to a word document and blow up to any size you want and then use tracing paper to trace each section separetly and then put on a cardboard templete or the hard plastic 3 ring binder inserts. vola........ That's how I do it anyway plus I free hand draw alot of my patterns.
