I hate to have to read several paragraphs only to find additional cutting instructions buried within. I like to have them all cut before I begin assembly. I also prefer easy to read type (arial for instance) rather than serif (times roman), and typed, not hand-written. Yardage/dimensions for multiple size quilts is a nice touch also. Almost forgot - pressing tips for particular blocks (if any) are also very helpful!
