I hope you will buy the pattern that the designer sells. I exchanged emails with her a while back about the pattern I bought. After I opened it, I thought it was "a copy" and sold as the real thing so I emailed her about it. She was extremely nice and we tried to figure out if it was a bogus pattern but never really could. She mentioned that there is not much a designer can do about copies that are sold. She of course does not get any money from those copies but someone else does. If I put myself in her place, I can see how upset I would be about all of this. So, as others have mentioned on numerous occasions, we should try to buy the "real thing" and support the designers the best we can. And yes, that ruler is expensive so the pattern is "cheap" in comparison. Plus, think of all the beautiful gifts you can make for yourself and others from this one pattern!!!
