NEW Find It feature: Sometimes you spot a sewing pattern here that you've been looking for forever. If that's the case, make it your first choice and mark the checkbox entitled "If I don't get it, can you find me one?" right below the pattern ID number. You should use this feature only if you'd be willing to buy the pattern (assuming you could find one...)

With any luck, you'll get the pattern in the normal course of things. But if you don't, we'll check our inventory for another one. If we don't have it, we'll add a request to the Post page in case there's one for sale out there. And we'll let the person who does get the pattern know in case they're willing to pass it on to you when they're done.

1.     Pattern requests are accepted only from registered members. You must also be in good standing (having made a Pin Money fund donation at least equal to the amount of postage on your last shipment).

2.     Patterns are allocated using a custom system that takes many factors into account. The most important factors are the number of pattern points you have -- and how many other people want the same pattern. You probably will not get all the patterns you request, and you may not get any.

3.     There's no limit to the number of patterns you may request. There are daily limits that apply to each area (see the main Recycle, Trade and Special Collection pages for details). Large requests are processed over several days.

4.     While it's thankfully not much of an issue, we do reserve the right not to fill any request we believe abuses the spirit, terms or goals of Pattern Rescue.
