Do you use the free patterns the fabric manufacturers make available?

I usually pick my own color/fabrics now that I have gotten a bit more confident in selecting. I have been currently printing off many purse/bag patterns because I want to start making some, just have to get up the courage to take the plunge! Having said that, I just bought 3 patterns at Joann's for purses/bags!!

LOL! Oh, you are a sick person! Want to join me in recovery? I don't print them out, but I have tons on my computer. I know if I were only 5 yrs. old, I would never get even a fraction of them made. I can't help myself! I buy purse & bag patterns, or get the free ones; then I end up designing my own instead! Oh, but it is so much fun collecting them all! You made my day!

I "collect" more free patterns than I use. I have used some of the featured fabric but not all.

I have used them, saved them, but use fabrics from my stash. I'm also not a 'kit' buyer.

I use them all the time. Don't always use the fabrics suggested though. If I happen to have some from a previous purchase then I'll follow the pattern's recommendations otherwise I just substitute with what I have. Only time I can remember specifically purchasing the fabric to fit the pattern was with the House Mouse quilt.
