I am not sure what is meant by 'old-school swap'. The swapmeister sets the rules for his/her swap, and they can certainly specify only correct, classic patterns, materials, or techniques be used. As for quality, I don't think I have ever gotten any sub-standard quality files in any of our swaps. So, as usual, I remain confused.

Anyway, I personally love classic patterns, especially streamers, so anytime anyone wants to host a Classic Pattern Swap, count me in.
