      Have you registered with Printsew.com? While the free patterns are really free, registration is required. I've used their services for a while now; there was no increase in spam. The downloads go well, and once I figured out the process for pattern assembly, I didn’t have trouble with the actual patterns. One thing which saves some money and time; I usually buy multi-size patterns, assemble them then using exam table paper, draw off the sizes I need. I use very large brown envelopes to store the print-outs (labeled) by company and garment type. The copies don’t generally survive my less-than-tender mercies.

      online and happy

      The problem with PrintSew is that while anyone can access the site, only those with PCs and those who use microsoft browsers can print out the patterns. I believe that is what the others were trying to say. I have a Mac as well and I cant print any of the patterns out. although I can see what they have. its so disappointing!!!! I have emailed the company to complain about it. perhaps if others did as well they will change their site to make it accessable to Mac user also. Its really a shame that companies still have their nose so far up Microsoft’s ass that they cant see any other possibilities. I mean, imagine how much business they are shutting out by limiting the site to only PCs and MS browsers? ugh, I hate it!!! I love my mac and I shouldnt have to feel like I should give it up just to be able to access some sites!
