    I like freebies but know I will never be able to make nearly all that I like. I bookmark but by the time I get around to thinking I want to try one I either can't find it or it is no longer available.

    This is a great site for free patterns from fabric manufacturers. Click "shop" then click "free patterns". Be prepared to spend awhile looking!

    I have used several, but use the fabric I have on hand.

    I especially like Benartex patterns. I did not use their fabrics for a quilt that is in the beginning stages, but I did buy some of that quilt's suggested fabrics for another quilt.

    I use them all the time. Some times you have to twick them cause the measurement are not aways right.

    I use the patterns and the fabric if available. Usually I am later in looking so the fabric indicated is no longer around and thus I wing it (smile).

    Manufacturers free patterns that feature their fabric are notorious for having errors. I have used them but proceed with caution.
