    Of the items I have received, they are well made. The offer of free patterns to subscribe has not panned out, as I have never received them. I have emailed, but have not received a reply. Their ordering system does not work right for these "free" patterns, and I ended up paying for one of them. The "continue to checkout" will only work with the billing address and not the shipping address, so there they all sit, in my orders tab, with just ship to United States on them. They have not even been shipped. There is no way to correct this, and they do not answer my emails.
