I don't know about that, but I have occasionally found Kwik Sew patterns on eBay for a good price. Would be worth checking there.

Depends on where you are/what sources you have nearby. I have a local indie store that does occasionally put them on sale. Seems they run about $5-6 if I remember correctly. Wouldn't hurt to make some calls if you have any local sources that stocks them.

I've heard never, but Sewing Patterns frequently has them on sale up to 35% off RRP and routinely 20%.

They currently have a 35% off sale until 25th May.

Fabric.com also has KS patterns that occasionally are down by 20%, which with the free shipping over USD35 for you guys, is fantastic savings IMO.

The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavourable. Favourable conditions never come.

I got some for $1 each at Hancock's last February. I was in Tampa for DGS's neurologist appt. and decided to visit -- only the third time I've ever been to Hancocks. I don't know if there is one close to you but you might check their website.

PR had almost all their patterns on sale 25% off for FoPR through May 20th. You can get them for 35% off through May 25th at www.sewingpatterns.com.

Joann's doesn't sell Kwik Sew.

I believe there are also some pattern coops that do group buys, but I don't have links for those. Maybe someone else does??

If you are looking for older patterns there as several sellers on ebay that have patterns either listed there or in their coops off ebay. I usually do a google search and have had good luck that way finding sellers with small shopping sites.

If you want current patterns, PR has extended the pattern sale to May 31st.

If you had asked me several years ago, I'd have suggested you talk to Debbie Cook....lol

On rare occasions, Hancock's will have a sale, 20% I believe. Keep an eye on the pattern sales thread. If they ever go on sale, it should be posted there.
