Default One Way arrow quilt by Sassafras

I can't find my post asking about this pattern templates but got an answer to my email to them. the template A is to be cut on the fold-wasn't marked at all that way or in directions. did say "triangle" but i missed that! and they also said corrections (which were not there before on this pattern) says to cut template B and C one inch longer than shown!!!! jeesh.
oh well, i may try it and see how it goes later.

I really hate when a pattern has mistakes or confusing directions

I agree! I just had one like that yesterday from a known pattern maker. Didn't catch it till it was already cut and sewn but I am able to make it work. Frustrating though because my lqs had a sample made up and kits to buy (it was just a small wall hanging) so it would have been nice if they gave a heads up!

That is mt per peeve! Just because you can design a pattern doesn't mean you can write good directions. If I were writing directions, you can bet I would "run it by" several accomplished writers/quilters to check for accuracy.

Had this problem with several of the row by row kits I bought last Spring... Put together in haste, no doubt, they had fatal mistakes.
