When using any pattern or set of instructions occaisionally find part of the directions that are worded in localized idioms, and there is no way to look up what they mean. Ex- "you have to ooch it just a bit" (Actual words used by Mary Fons, thank you) I know what she means, but sometimes I am just clueless. Also abreviations that are not explained is another iritant. I am not trying to be the problem child, just listing some ideas for you to consider. Changing terms throws me off also. If you start calling something one thing, stay with it for us, please don't change it.( ex- "lay fabric face down" in one sentence, then saying it "RSD" in another spot). Be consistant. If you write your instructions for a younger, less experienced quilter, you should be right on the mark, no matter how complicated the design. Pictures of steps in directions just thrills me. i am now a visual learner, so that is my issue. You could always ask a non-quilting friend to read them through, to see if that person thought they could do it with your instructions? Thanks for coming back. We missed you.
