I know some people would argue with me, but I always like to trace patterns, even off of the tissue paper. I also have to use multiple sizes or trace between sizes, and I like to be able to go back to the original sheet in case there is a major problem with my original pattern tracing (usually a Big4 problem more than Burda). I have also had a few of my very early patterns that I cut up, and are now OOP that I would like to remake, but I have changed size and in some cases are difficult to alter because of all the changes I made to the original pattern. Also, since I sometimes sew for my sister, it is great to be able to buy 1 pattern and make something for each of us, even though we are different sizes. I can understand the argument that "it was only $1, I don't care if I cut it up" (although I am well aware that Burdas cost more, even on sale), but when I think about my pattern collection and start adding up all those dollars, well, it is a fairly substantial amount.T.

After my Butterick huge dress fiasco I thought that Burda envelope patterns may be more consistent in their sizing. I'll still have to trace because I vary between a Burda 40 and 42, but tracing proper patterns is a lot easier than tracing from the Burda sheets.
