I've given it a bit more thought, and decided that I didn't like the word 'Sloper'. Yes, professional sewers would know what it meant, but I'm not catering to professionals. Just the average person. So I've renamed the file 'Just Patterns', because to most people that would be a more recognizable title. The pdfs do have actual patterns with seam allowances, but mostly there's templates, which is how I prefer to use my 'patterns'. By tracing the templates onto the wrong side of the fabric, all the stitching lines are clearly there for me to see, and that makes sewing so much easier. I expect many people would agree. They just need to remember to add the seam allowances. Anyways, I've gone back and updated the last Blog post announcing the new file...

Works for me. I make adjustments to patterns all the time.

I prefere templates too. It really makes sewing tiny peaces easier.

That's for sure! It's so much easier when you have the stitch lines drawn right on. Saves a lot of guessing for seam allowance widths.
