Poll Of The Week - Sewing Patterns

How do you like your sewing patterns? Do you prefer a printed sewing pattern so you can keep everything in the envelope and enjoy the cover art? Are you team PDF and if so... print at home or A0/copyshop printing? Or sneaky third option - have you found yourself over on the projector side?

I'll do the A4 printing as I'm all for instant gratification and want to get on with it once I've decided. I've learned that it's worth getting bulk pattern printing done when the different printing sites have sales on.... I really, really don't like tracing off printed patterns!

I'm still new to patterns so I'm not sure what suits me yet due to my dyslexia and autism

I love my projector! I still trace my pattern from the projector on a roll of kraft paper so I have paper copies of any size I use. It is my way to have nice copies on sturdy paper without all the taping and using so much ink and paper

I'm a suspenders-and-belt type. I'll get PDF/coo pyshop patterns and then usually trace off a tissue copy so the pattern stays uncut. I've shredded too many tissue patterns that are hard to re-use.
