I'm disappointed - anyone else?

I know the computer sometimes does strange things, like putting the caption for a picture under the wrong picture. And after you correct something, the old stuff is still there, too. Hope things get better.

I really like Jenny's videos and her patterns - but don't subscribe to Block. I've only made one of her quilts so far, from the Quilting Quickly mag - sounds like they need to SLOW DOWN some and test patterns more ... may be in too much a rush with all they have their hands in now ??

What's the problem with those that make the pattern report any mistakes to Missouri Star? I always go to the website of any magazine or book or designer before making a pattern to check for corrections. With Jenny's patterns it's easy enough to watch the video and listen to her telling the measurements for the block.

Because when you pay for a pattern or magazine you shouldn't have to hunt to find out if there are mistakes. They have everyone's email that has subscribed. They should be notifying people. Or better yet, like others have mentioned, use pattern testers before releasing any. It's not fair to the first few that try a pattern to have to be unpaid guinea pigs and be the ones to discover and report errors.
No matter how easy it is to find out about the errors, the bottom line is that there shouldn't be so many in the first place. On a free publication, sure. When you pay for it, absolutely not.

I agree wholeheartedly! It would be different if the patterns were free.

I agree 100%. I would sure hate to have to check a blog or website to see if there are any errors before ordering/purchasing/cutting fabric. You assume the pattern is correct. And what if I didn't find the correct spot for the "correction" before cutting. Makes for frustration. I think they should be able to send either an email or snail mail to notify us. And please cut down on the amount of errors!

I am sure they will fix the problems with time. I love the magazine. No ads, easy to read, easy to follow. Keep going Jenny. Wish I lived close enough to go to a trunk show. She probably could use a couple more pattern testers but as they say don't sweat the small stuff.

I really feel dumb, and am sometimes with technology (lol - I call it mentalpause) but how do you print the corrections and from which screen? I don't get much when I try to just print the screen. Is it easier if you go directly to her site? And when you get into her site what do you look for. I have had problems just getting in it. Thank you ladies who are so cool with all this technical stuff!!!!
Now let's see if you can print this out so you have the directions handy? ? ? ?
Good luck.
