I've lucked out with this one though and can highly recommend the quality of it!

I can see the benefits of having a full piece but when printing a PDF it seems to use an awful lot of paper unnecessarily. If I wanted to pattern match or was working with a trickier fabric I'd trace it out into a flat piece. Thank you for all the info!

It happened to me twice; however, even though one of the fabrics was not what I ordered it turned out to be a great fabric and I've actually gone back and ordered the same type in multiple colors. The improvements I would love to see consistently, is accurately describing the fabric weight, whether the colored fabric is printed on a white ground, if the stripes are printed or woven, and if the fabric is see-through at all. Otherwise, I'll keep giving them a chance.<br /><br /><br />lsaspaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058968076601943527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-31457592232591973682016-03-07T21:04:03.933+00:002016-03-07T21:04:03.933+00:00Lovely - I dig a turtleneck at the moment (I'v...Lovely - I dig a turtleneck at the moment (I've made a few of Papercut Rise) and glad Style Arc has another fan - I love their patterns.

Personally, I like their full pieces. I have been creating full pieces (from the half) for many years as I think it makes it easier to stay on grain by cutting separate pieces in one layer of fabric. It also makes it much easier for placement if you have a larger print. You can get size 04-18 on Amazon in US, UK & AU.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-73506035816403184682016-03-07T01:12:49.842+00:002016-03-07T01:12:49.842+00:00Love this pattern.
