Probably a stupid question but I thought there would be different pieces for each size. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.
I only buy patterns from Hobby Lobby when they are 99 cents (which is at least every other month). I buy 2 or 3 because at that price it isn't worth trying to trace off on other paper. I agree that especially on small sizes it is almost impossible to trace the sizes and I don't have a lot of patience anyway. I would think you would have to use tracing paper or something you can see the lines through. Sometimes I use scrapes from pattern pieces to trace off small pieces instead of stopping to unpin and repin a piece that more pieces are needed.
