    Hi,
    Just a friendly warning. I recently bought a bag pattern from Nancy's Notions. I don't typically look at all of the pattern pages right after I buy them. This time I did because I was excited about making the handbag.
    Most of the 'guts' were missing. All of the pattern templates...I emailed Nancy's Notions and they promptly sent me out a new pattern.
    From now on, I'll check every one I buy - just in case.

    Yes, I was very pleased. I've never been disappointed by anything I've ordered from them.

    I bought a quilt pattern at the Houston International Quilt Festival many years ago and didn't look at it for a couple of years. Discovered it had only instructions and none of the applique drawings. Luckily I was able to contact the co. and get it fixed. Since then I take a quick look at what I buy.

    It's amazing what people will steal!!!(I'm assuming someone stole the innards rather than the company screwing up). One time, in southern Cal, I started to buy some sanitary napkins. Got up to the counter and discovered it was open and one was missing!!!!

    One time I bought a pattern book directly from the company and a bunch of pages were missing. So it can happen.
