As a pattern writer - how much detail to put in?
Something similar with recipes - some of my Mom's "notes to herself" recipes incclude an iingredient list - maybe the temperature to bake the product at - and that's it!
I would think trying to write a pattern for "all levels" of sewing would be harder than writing for a specific level.
I think "expereinced" people tend to skim over all the directions - and may miss an important detail - more than "newbies".
At least. that's something I tend to do - I consider myself an "advanced beginner" - I am beginning to have an idea of how much I still can learn - if I choose to.
