Welcome to the QB from North Carolina You'll love it here.


How right you are....I hate finding patterns with mistakes in them....or worse yet, I don't find them till it's finished

I agree.. I do't do patterns.. I prefer my own designs, and sometimes make changes as I go..

I agree. I just did one, a kit, and it neglected to tell you how wide to cut the strips, and there were three different width of strips required. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy!

Welcome!! I agree with you -- folks should be more careful when they write directions and they should always have someone else make the quilt. I recently bought a very expensive (for me) book on making handbags. Every pattern in the book skipped steps at an important point in the description. This is one reason why I rarely use patterns -- I draft my own and work out the construction myself and save the $$.

Good morning and welcome from Illinois. Have fun and enjoy and yes, it is very frustrating to find mistakes in a purchased pattern. Did you contact the pattern maker and complain and point out the mistake(s). My friend had that problem working on a block of the month from McCall's Quilting Magazine and she contacted them and the next month, they posted a correction and also emailed her the corrected pattern.

Hi and welcome from Michigan.

Hi, Welcome -

I share your frustration at patterns that have mistakes and/or are poorly written.

It's especially sad/bad for a beginner that thinks the fault is his/hers - and not in the pattern.
