I love them. I use them all the time. They run true to their measurments. They are ment to be traced. Some times you have to "piece" as you tracethe pattern. The front and back are offten on the same pattern piece with differen neck line. Very nice to work with IMO.

I love them too. Some of the best fitting knitwear I've sewn. I've done several turtle/mock necks from one of their patterns, as well as basic Ts, and even a vintage bikini underwear pattern of theirs.

I can't compare too much to Kwik Sew, as I've mostly just used the KSFT book, which I wasn't too impressed with. I did do the KS yoga pants for me (3115?) and they fit well with just a minor modification in the rise.
