I realise there are some who are happy about them, but while it´s fine for single patterns I don´t think it makes sense for a *book*. the point of a book is to be able to return to it over and over again, the complete opposite of a tissue pattern. Just since I bought the first book about a year back my body has changed a lot, and if I´d cut into the patterns then they´d be completely worthless now. The lack of sturdy pattern paper will siginificantly lessen the value of the book over time.Heddahttp://teselskap.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-72211508118625075422013-09-06T19:20:01.535-04:002013-09-06T19:20:01.535-04:00Massive yes to plus model!
