There are lots of demos on Thangles on the web. Here's a good one I found.

I always check patterns and kits for corrections at the website of the original designer/publisher. Many have corrections. When contacting the designer/website the first thing you are asked is did you check for corrections? Most call it the errata page.

I have never done a kit out of fear I will mess up something and not be able to finish the project. Best of luck with the kit. I see there are a number of folks here that can give you sound advice.

I don’t do kits. They make me nervous that a cutting error could make me run out of fabric.

I have had good luck with kits…typically, very generous with fabrics in case of boo boo cutting. I once made 2 different quilts from one kit by altering the pattern a bit. Never heard of the your kit company.

Oh i have some kits I've not looked at forever. I would just say good luck and never buy from that designer again. Some can write patterns with all the help needed, other's don't even think about that. Good luck!!

I'm afraid that I have found the directions that come with a kit are often incorrect or miss a step. Sooooooooo frustrating.

In the past year I have turned to using many kits for my quilts. I have had surprisingly good luck as I have rarely used a kit successfully for anything before! I have being buying kits that are from people I follow on blogs like Amy Smart. I also have bought a couple of Elizabeth Hartman ones. Basically I get the pattern plus their fabric choices all in a box ready to go. Here are a couple of my kit quilt pictures. I added an extra row to Amy’s Union Jack as the fabric was ample.....

It is a Sandy Gervais patter #612. I am going to blame much of my issue on my old Singer that does not have dual feed. I am almost finished and the front looks great. Have managed to hide most of my problems with some crative piecing of blocks so will send it to a long arm quilter and call it a learning experience! Thank you to all for their input.

Wow, this must be the pattern you have made. It looks very intimidating to me & I would think it would call for an experienced quilter. Did you make this quilt for your daughter or did she give the kit to you to keep? Can't wait to see it finished. Please post a picture when it's quilted & finished.
