Rachel, I also agree with you!
With all the free patterns on the net I'm buying fewer patterns and books than ever too.

What if you don't have a printer? You are screwed! I prefer printed ones. And yes they should be cheaper than just removing shipping.

It's cheaper than paying to have it posted here!

Agree, they should be less expensive than a printed patt., maybe only $1 or $2 less, but its not costing them ANYTHING for printing, etc. Of course they deserve to make a fair price for their originality.

It's not always easy to get those e-patterns to print accurately. I always make sure my printer is set exactly as recommended and it's still a crapshoot as to whether it will be accurate. For purse patterns and such it's not such a big deal but for clothing, I want a tissue paper pattern.

I agree They should be a little cheaper, we designers also should make a couple of dollars for our work but I also think the convienence(sp) of getting a pattern I really love immediately is well worth the price.....

Even patterns you buy can be a bit of a rip off these days.I ordered my last ever pattern when the cost of $8 & $4 shipping was quite a lesson learned.
Suffice it to say,the "contents" was a "Make 20 blocks & sew them together,finish to suit"printed on a piece of paper maybe 5" sq.

It was my fault for going ahead & ordering at that price.It should have been sent for a stamp,plus whatever for handling, maybe $1 total.

For those who order patterns to download,I'd print it there & then .....or back it up just in case your puter does what puters do at times.:-)
