    This is why I always make a practice block before I cut into my good fabrics. Years ago I cut out all I needed for a top and the pattern had a bad mistake and I had to rush to the store and was lucky to find my fabric still in stock. That taught me never trust a pattern until I do a practice block.

    same goes......and a common error is in the yardage for backings and sashing....easy calculations to make to check the yardage is correct (whole truth here...I prefer to use wide backs)

    If you are a member of the MSQ Forum, just scroll down to find the website to find the errors and corrections section.

    No, just the April 2014 Magic Diamonds, Dresden Coin Quilt and Stained glass quilt; June 2014 Pop Fly, American Classic, Ladies Luncheon, Simple Joys, Starlight, StarBright, Sweet Harvest; and Winter 2014 Pages 55, 63, 84 and 97. They are simple changes, but could cause confusion. If you cannot find the corrections, let me know.

    I agree AnnEliz. I love Jenny also and am so pleased I could find the errors on her website. Come on Great Quilters, we all make mistakes no matter if we are proof readers or quilters. This is MSQ's first year at publishing a magazine.

    I hope you do not cancel Geri B. These are great people at MSQ and, as has been stated, the errors are not intense.

    I have one copy of the magazine. I have ony quickly paged thru it so I can't say anything about errors. A lot of patterns have errors when they are printed. I try to remember to check for them before I start a quilt. I went to a trunk show with Jenny a few weeks ago. She was awesome. So nice and personable. SHe signed autographs and answered all questions. SHe even posed for everyones pictures. I wonder if she even had time for a break before her next show.

    What about magazines that are sold at stores? It would be pretty hard to notify those who don't subscribe.

    Our quilt guild made a quilt using a pattern from a magazine...one of the three or four part kind. We got the blocks made and some were too small. When we looked at the individual block information the unfinished blocks would not have come close to the finished block size. We should have tested each block but we didn't. Just made new blocks for the ones that were too small. These were from one of the well advertised magazines NOT from MSQC.

    I agree!!! Best $5.99 I have spent ...Other magazines are full of wasted ads, not many patterns and cost way too much!!!
