I sometimes will purchase a pattern, because at the check out I start to question my math calculations and over buy the fabric.... if I had purchased the pattern with the yardage requirements it would have been cheaper in the long run. Yes some patterns do have errors, but for the most part when I do the math.... I over buy "just in case". Even one extra yard of fabric at $11-13 adds up. So I am a confident sewer quiter but not so confident in my own math . One bad math calculation left a permanent imprint.
