E PATTERNS AND BOOKS
Dec 14, 2011, 04.05 PMby pegbauer
Definitely hard copies. I like to have the reference right there in my hand, although it is tough to store all of them in one place. I could limit my pattern consumption, but what fun would that be?

I prefer hard copy patterns because I hate printing & taping the epatterns together. And I prefer DVD’s over streaming video because its easier to backup and replay. Buffering is so frustrating.

I love hard copy patterns. I collect patterns and I have patterns from the 30’s to now. I love all patterns but doll and quilt patterns are my favorites.

Hard copies! I don’t trust technology lol.

Not sure. I don’t have enough experience to say.

Hard copy patterns are the best! I like having original copies of the patterns so I can trace them out in different sizes and make alterations without worrying about ruining the original copy. E-patterns take too much time to print and tape the patterns together, and I prefer having the patterns pre-printed as opposed to drafting from scratch, even with the help of a DVD or online tutorial.

I guess my preference is a hard copy of a pattern. I do watch DVD tutorials and YouTube videos when a technique is new to me I’m a visual person so when I see it done it is much easier for me.

Such a great pattern company, I always prefer paper patterns because I love being able to flip through them in my pattern drawers!

Hmm… this is actually a tough question for me. I think I prefer a combination of hard copy patterns plus some video or photo/book instruction. I appreciate online e-patterns for their immediacy, but I like cutting out the silky paper from the hard copy patterns. As for instructions, I like video tutorials (via DVD or YouTube) for special stitches or special instructions unique to the pattern. When a somewhat adventurous technique is introduced within the instructions, I head toward my reference books, and then to videos for help in understanding the pattern.

i like both hard copy and e-patterns with the option to print

I prefer e patterns and the option to print them.
Dec 14, 2011, 03.48 PMby bitterbunny
i would say hard copy patterns!
Dec 14, 2011, 03.48 PMby Craftywatts
I love hard copy patterns (esp vintage ones)! Fingers Crossed I am drooling over everything in the store!! :D

I’m a traditionalist, just as I prefer real books contrary to e-books, I’m more of a hard copy patterns fan.
Dec 14, 2011, 03.47 PMby Dreach
Hard copy patterns are definitely my go too, they are what i am used to plus i love to collect vintage patterns but who doesnt!
Dec 14, 2011, 03.47 PMby jocel
Hard copy patterns, definitely.
Dec 14, 2011, 03.45 PMby corarae
I have to say patterns because I haven’t used the others. I recently printed up a pattern, but it looks complicated & not sure I’m up for the hassle.
Dec 14, 2011, 03.37 PMby vintagemomma
I like epatterns for instant gratification..but I am not a fan of taping the puzzle together. I LOVE hard patterns printed on heavy duty paper that I can trace and reuse over and over again with no ripping. :)
