Some things I have learned by making these test blocks - sometimes the cutting directions are wrong -
Another thing to be said for "eperience" - to know /realize the directions are wrong!
It really is a challenge to write good instructions and create decent illustrations. Much easier to complain about how someone else did it.
As a person that test quilt patterns, you are correct it is a challenge to get all the errors correced. Sometimes I can read a section 4 or 5 times an not see something. Then I look at the pattern on a different platform and it stands out. There is a lot of stuff your brain fills in because of ones knowledge that isn't printed on the page.
