When I am spending the big bucks for a pattern , I also have the expectation the designer would have included any tips they used/learned for making the quilt .[/quote]
Depending on the designers experience, she might not consider what she did a TIP, but just step in the process!
Do not for a moment fool yourselfs into thinking that just because this designer is Dutch and there might be a translation issue that this is only happening with her patterns. EVERY designer if you go to the their websites will have a page of pattern corrections.
Some are only minor things, but some can be huge differences in the amount of fabric you buy/need, some have directions left out, some are missing pieces....
Publishing a pattern is a long process....it requires more than one set of eyes to proof read and more than one set of skills to TEST the pattern....
and much to your surprise I am sure, it is NOT always the pattern designers mistakes, directions are easily misinterpreted as well!
