Q: Can I sell items made using your patterns?
A: With the purchase of this pattern comes full permission to sell your creations.  I welcome you to profit from using my patterns!  Patterns themselves may NOT be reproduced or distributed in any way, however.

Q: If I contact you directly, can I get a better deal on the pricing?
A:  No, I actually have pricing agreements with the sites that sell my products.  They put a lot of effort into promoting my eBooks, and I don't want to "undersell" them.  Plus, when you take into account the size range and detailed instructions you are getting, the price is very reasonable to begin with :) .

Q: I can’t open/print the document!
A: All patterns are in PDF format. You must have a PDF reader program (such as Adobe Acrobat Reader) to open the pattern. You will also need a printer to print out the pattern pieces.  If the printer gives you a “spooling error,” try upgrading the PDF reader to the most recent version.  Again, these are large files and sometimes older printers have trouble with them.  If this happens, we can break the ePattern into several smaller files for you.

Q:  Help…I never received my ePattern links. What do I do??
A:  The first thing you should do is check your “Spam” folder.   It is also possible that the email “bounced” or that you have a full inbox.  If you haven’t received access to your product within 48 hours, please contact me. 

Q: Wow…There are so many pages to print!  Why are your ePatterns so long?
A: I try to provide as much detail as possible in each ePattern.  Every step is very clearly illustrated with words and detailed diagrams or photographs.  This makes for a much more pleasant sewing experience, especially if you are a beginner.  The illustrations and text are intentionally large to allow for on-screen viewing (a great option if you have a computer in your sewing space). If you prefer to have a print out, you can print the pages 2 to a page (you can set your preferences in the print screen).  The print will still be perfectly legible at the reduced size.  Many of the pages are taken up by the actual pattern pieces.  One of the nice things about ePatterns is that you can print just the size you need when you need it.  In most of the ePatterns I provide a “Quick Print Guide” that tells you exactly what pages to print for your desired size/options.

Q:  Do you sell things made from your patterns?
A:  I spend so much time doing "research and development" that I just don't have the time to sew items to sell.   Many members of my Lab Personnel have their own sewing businesses, and can collaborate with you on custom creations.
