Not that this is my big pet peeve or anything, but the last time I bought a Simplicity pattern (for Halloween), the lines were so faint, I could not see them to cut unless I held it up in direct sunlight. I was so upset, but I didn't have time to take it back. Somebody in quality control was sleeping on the job! Next time, I am going to pull the tissue out of the package to ensure that I can read all the print lines.
