I have never had a kit without the instructions, that's just wrong. I've been discouraged with F&P since their little episode with the disc they sent out and then wanted you to buy it or send it back. I sent mine back.

Just for kicks, I emailed them and asked how it can be a "kit" without instructions--making the point that I have purchased hundreds of craft kits over the years--and all had instructions!
I had already been to the site for my friend but had not noticed that instructions were not included--it just says the pattern is in such and such magazine, which I thought was just publicity for the magazine!
It will be most interesting to see the response....IF I get one!

Unfortunately they are not the only ones doing this. I have had this show up at several quilt stores (I won't name them) but the kit is for a project and it usually states on there that pattern is seperate.
I know I think everything should be included but not always :(

Thank you for that important info. I've never ordered from them and I never will. What a scam! A friend of mine had the same thing happen to her at Best Buys. She bought her husband a GPS and it wouldn't work. She brought it back and it happened to be a "faulty one" and they refunded her money after deducting a restock fee! I won't shop there either.

I think it is extremely poor marketing on their part to not explain fully UP FRONT that the pattern is not included. Why would anyone want a kit without the pattern?

If they are going to sell the kits this way, it should be clearly and boldly stated, right next to the kit,
F&P MAGAZINE ? Issue required for the PATTERN
Or PATTERN sold separately, see details
