Patterns

[BobD]

Hey gang,
Quick question for you.

With the pullout. Do you usually photocopy the sections and reassemble the photocopies, or do you prefer to just use the provided pattern pullout?

Thanks

Bob

I pull the pattern out ,photo copy and re insert for future reference. Thank goodness for photo copiers .

I always photocopy what I need to use. Never, ever work with the original.

I allways use a light box and trace out the pullout with RED (hint,hint) ink and then scan that into the brain box. It is a lot easier to cut on a red line,you can see where the blade is and correct the cut before the blade comes off the line. Others have said any bright colour will doas long as the dark blade contrasts with your line.

Oh My gosh Bob, like Diane said, Never, Never cut the oreganale. these magazines I get, are like gold. heck I just spent $170 on ebay , buying old magazines, with all the patterns in tack. I think my kids will be rich, if they only know how valubale these magazines are, with the patterns. you pay big time for one pattern. and we get tons from are magazines. so my answer is. always copey the pattern. and save the oreganale. put it back in the magazine, and store it safly. you will always get your money back if you deside to sell them.the magazines have all the detales to how to make them, and all the empho you need to do that project. some of the old magazines run for more money than we pay right now. and someone down the line, will pay big bucks for them. folks like me. (Pattern, and tool junkie)when I wish to find a patten in one of the magazines, I just put little sticker nots with the name of the pattern I wish to find, in differant colors, and I even make a note card on which patterns I have made, and buy who, and in which magazine, to refure to fast. I am even thinking of making a fire proof cabnet to keep them in. any one have any sugjestions, on how. and on the front, it will say.

DONT MESS WITH EVIES PATTERNS. OR DIE

I make copies of the patterns I'm going to use. Then keep the original with the magazine.
