One thing I do for my very expensive patterns is get clear plastic from the upholstery store and use it to copy out just the pieces I need. I can Ten save everything as the original to use in another size or nckline or what ever. Also the pieces I use over and over again are super tough and forgiving and don't warp so I can cut new muslins from it if the muslin warps. Ps, Yes purchased the pAttern years ago and it was worth twice the list price. The patterns them selves were amzing an the documentaion a Very helpfuk and enjoyable part of the whole Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

I have the Regency Wardrobe pattern package, which I've used several times and like. The instructions are pretty good -- better than most of its ilk. It was worth the price. I haven't used this one, but I have a friend who did and I think she was happy with it.
