@neon8 I ve used then no issue with no amends, just print actual size and check the square scale thing . And with kids sizes so few pieces of paper I find printing and sticking manageable. I think PDF is v practical for kids clothes when you need a new size every 6 months

Pdf hater = copy shop lover I just printed 3 PDF patterns at a central London copy shop for £20 for all 3. Great quality paper and in one long roll. This is definitely the way forward. I just email them the files then pick up an hour later. Good luck- do get a quote the prices vary radically!!
