Angelina- I bet if you contact her via email or phone, she could certainly give you some insight as to whether all of her patterns are this detailed/thorough. (She's on Facebook.)
I should think it's very similar to clothing patterns in that certain ones ARE easier to understand for some individuals. For example, an easy Simplicity brand pattern for me was VERY difficult to understand, but McCall's instructions and pattern markings were much easier.
Great that you found a gal who "understands you!"
BTW, that's a great pattern; look how different it looks rendered with a diff't color background in the pic! Will look forward to your pics!
