But I agree it would be nice not to have to store full books and magazines just to keep copies of a few patterns.

This is what I do. Just copy what I want & take the rest to thrift stores. That's why I now say I will offer my bks. free t
o people in this grp. just for the cost of shipping.
Sorry, but the "copying" part is what makes it against the law. If you plan on doing this, whatever, but I don't recommend you broadcast it on a public forum. Eyes are everywhere.
Thanks, Candace. That occurred to me but too late. When I said I copy a pattern, it's for my own use only since I hate to tear up a magazine. In my day, we were taught to respect books & for me, that includes magazines. Thanks again for the advice. There is so much to learn in this grp.
