Have you used Jalie or Marfy Patterns?

I'm looking at both these pattern companies but I've never made from them before. Would love to know what everyone thinks of them!

I've only used the infamous Jalie 2908 stretch jeans, which I love to death. A lot of people seem to find they have good fit, though. All the sizes (from kids size 2 to adult XXL) come printed on one heavy sheet of paper, so you'll need to be prepared to trace off your pieces. The instructions are printed on the same sheet, which is kinda awkward to refer to, but you can grab a PDF of the instructions alone off the website and print that out, which is much more convenient.

I've used several Jalie patterns, such as the 2908 jeans, the pleated cardi, the scarf collar top, the twist top and the sweetheart top. I love the patterns. I think they're exceptionally well drafted and the instructions are great.

I'm wearing both the jeans and the sweetheart top right now, lol. The sweetheart top is particularly flattering on a lot of figures.

I'm a big fan of Jalie patterns. I like the huge size range and have been pleased with the fit though their knit wear tends to have so much negative ease that I size up. I'm going to brave the jeans soon but haven't yet. I had not heard of Marfy.
