Credit goes to the designers who write their patterns on a beginner level, step by step and in true step sequence. They are out there and as I learn who they are I will buy only their patterns.
I believe the reason some patterns are so hard to comprehend is because the designer is at such an excelled level of thought and knowledge. They no longer remember to 'think about' what others need to know. They have done it so long at such a high level of thought they leave out things that would lead us from one step to the next. They, sometimes, also do not seem to go in step sequence.
I keep my less desirable fabrics to user test new patterns. As I am making a new pattern I write it so I will understand what 'I' did the next time I make it.
This is a good post and one all designers should take to heart. Thank you for posting it.
