I think her patterns are a fair price. It took a lot of work just to design all those pieces so they are accurate. I'm sure a computer does most of the work but it still takes time and skill. And many will split the cost with friends and copy the papers. It's not right but everyone knows it happens. I think the price reflects all aspects.

I bought two of her patterns on eBay and paid a little less for them. A lot of time goes into her designs. You get all the PP already printed but I am going to make a few test patterns in case of mistake. I believe you can contact her company if you have any problems. That seldom occurs.

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize you got all the pre printed papers. That is fantastic. Any time I've done PP making copies has been a nightmare.
In that case it is definitely a fair price.
Are they really difficult to do? They certainly are the most gorgeous quilts. The kind to hand on a wall and look at all the time.

I have only done one Judy N pattern, Agave Garden. I found her instructions very thorough and easy to follow but I did have to read through them a couple of times before I felt confident to start. Once started, I found it very easy to do and the result fantastic.

Judy's designs are not difficult IF you do them correctly. They are NOT done like regular paper piecing. Instead they are done by chain piecing. The UTube videos are a NECESSITY. The instructions are great, but usually take a re read. I did a search judy neimeyer utube.com vidieos and came up with lots.
