I like pictures +(diagrams). When I design a pattern I try to have step by step diagrams to go with the instructions. Also the instructions are "short and sweet" no extra words. Its "cut 5 --two and one half inch strips WOF" (then a diagram)
"sub cut each strip into 16 -- 2 and one half inch squares" (diagram)
etc. then visual people can look at the pictures and people who need the written directions have it too. Would you like directions like this?
