Not really. I just laugh when I see it. It kind of strikes me funny- now!
Good, clear pictures and/or illustrations of what I am trying to emulate are helpful.
I agree - it is very difficult to write a pattern that is error-free and idiot-proof!
It would be nice to have some indication on the outside of the pattern of how much detail is in the instructions.
Maybe something like:
Cutting instructions only - you are on your own!
You know how to cut and piece accurately - piecing diagrams included!
If you know nothing about piecing - don't even consider this pattern!
Very detailed instructions included - with references to other sources!
Some can just look at a picture - and they are good to go.
Some do need very very very very detailed instructions.
Just an observation.
