Hi, I just want to tell you I received the CD today! I absolutely love your elegant packaging! I think I will get another CD to give as a gift for my best friend! Sue H.

 Dear folks at Patterns-on-CD, thank you for shipping the cd out so quickly. Your CD is so easy to use. I can print out just the pages I am working on and scribble my notes on the print-out without worry. My dog chewed part of the pattern sheet I was working on, but no worries, I just print out another sheet! I am keeping the print outs in a 3 ring binder and even printed  the images I like for the binder cover. Thank you for making this rare antique book available on CD ROM!

Debbie B.
