I still like simple patterns (I quilt for relaxation) but am also pretty good at figuring out how a pattern is put together. I won't buy something I can find in one of my books or on the Internet, for free.
What I will buy, are patterns with appliqué or embroidery elements, or special assembly techniques. I will buy patterns with actual 'patterns' instead of just block/color arrangements.
I strongly dislike patterns which call for pre-cuts, unless they also provide regular yardage requirements.
It's nice to have a choice between PDF and paper patterns. If I buy a PDF, I expect it to cost at least a little less than the paper pattern.
