I agree...I bought one for a diaper bag tote a couple of weeks before I had surgery. I opened it up and it had a picture like it was some type of panel and about 1/2page of actual insructions. I am a visual quilter and rarely use patterns unless it is the first time I made something. I had my daughter return it for me ( can't drive yet). She said they gave her a hard time, but, with gentle persausion(spelling) she got my money back. I will resort to magazines and books. But I find there have been alot of issuses with quality lately. The batting seems thinner and more expensive, the fabric seems thinner or something, notions have increased in price and I seem to have to drive further to get everything or order it online.
