I didn't realise that you could get pdfs of Big 4 patterns. I've found for the projects where I've tried to use big 4, by the time I've traced around them and cut them out I get burned out and give up. It doesn't happen with pdf patterns because I dont feel the need to preserve the sizes so I don't trace them out.
Thanks for the link. Hopefully more of the big 4 and not just burda and McCall's will start doing pdfs as well as their paper patterns.
