Pretty much what Lori S. said.
I have had enough "bad" experiences with fabric to do "preventive maintenance" before cutting it - and with patterns and templates to know that sometimes they do not fit together "as printed."
I have a lot more confidence in myself now than when I started. Once upon a time - if it did not fit together properly - I thought it was me that had goofed - now - it may or may not be me - I check the patterns now! Sometimes it IS the pattern that is off!
