    I know prices will vary depending on the pattern. Just the same, to give us an estimate, how much did the pattern above cost to print?

    Cool! I have a Kinko's printer shop very close by, pickup sounds like saving some shipping money. I am also wondering about how much the printing service is approximately...or is it just worth gluing all the papers together myself?

    And again, if you download from burdamode site a free pattern or from here, and chosen the kind that has all sizes on it, plan on reusing it, maybe sew another size for someone else, not just yourself; then copy the size you want on other cheap paper (I use packing paper) instead of cutting it right away.

    Non fussible interfacing is a great thing to copy patterns on. Fussible ironed on to a paper pattern will make it last longer and not tear as easily.

    I just called both staples and Kinkos for price estimates and in order to get a 3'x6' page for your latest dress it costs around 100.00 on their cheapest paper Fedex Kinko's quoted three 3'x2' pages to accommodate the pattern at 40.00. I think I will be printing at home for now.

    I'm not sure what specs were provided for the aforementioned quote but I went to Staples today and it certainly wasn't $100. They charged $7.50 + $2.00 file conversion fee (basically for the guy to plug my flash drive into the computer -- whatever) for a 3 ft x 5 ft page on which I had the Laura dress pattern printed.

    With what printer will this work?

    with a 24 inch printer or the 48 inch?

    Cause I got a 24 in. HP DesingJet 500 laying around but I haven't used it yet, can this work in this printer? BTW I dont even know if it works...lol

    Does anyone have plotters at home that they use to print? If so what type and size do you use?

    FedEx Kinko's here in IL charges .75 a square foot. A 3' X 6" piece comes to $13.50. I just called.
