Well I did call the shop and talked to the woman that waited on me. I guess none of their kits have patterns. I told her they should put it on the label that pattern is not included but I don't think it made an impression. She was very nice and so was I.
I was looking at the Connecting Threds catalog and all of their kits have a free pattern and instructions but I think they own those patterns I bet that is the difference. The shop I went to cuts their own fabric for these kits.
