Questions
What if I already own one of the patterns?
The bundle price is fixed and includes all five PDFs, so it may not save you money if you already own several. Compare the bundle price with the remaining individual prices before buying.
Can I add an individual pattern and the bundle to the same cart?
No. The cart prevents it: adding the bundle removes any included items, and included items can't be added while the bundle is in your cart, so you're never charged twice.
How will I receive my files?
Once checkout opens, you'll get private download links after your payment is confirmed. Links expire after 24 hours; if one expires, contact us and we'll help.
