I am glad you created this post. I wondered what the standard format is for quilt patterns and what quilters expect from a quilt pattern. I would like to see the pattern start with step 1, then 2, then 3. Tell me exactly what to do in that step. Some patterns seem to have chatter in them and I don't know where to apply the chatter in what I am suppose to do.
I value our tutorials because the photos help me so much. I am a visual person.
