Sorry I also hate having a pattern where you purchase the amount of fabric needed and either you don't have enough or you have a large piece left. Also patterns which donot tell about mistakes and corrections not clear.
Patterns are very very expensive and shouldn't contain mistakes.
Magazines with mistakes in should coletely replace the pattern in another date.

Harbor Freight is great for blades in the carpet tool sections. Blades are 2 in a package for $1.00 on sale and a little more otherwise. i.e. for a 45 mm cutter.

Rotary cutting blades and patterns are my dislikes, too. I do not like paying the current high prices for fabrics although the fabrics are so interesting and fun to use. I have cut back on buying fabrics "just because." Now I check my stash first and then buy whatever is needed for a specific project. I watch for sales.

Patterns for a queen sized bed that tell you you need to buy 19 yards of fabric to complete the top of the quilt. Hello, I could wallpaper my entire house with 19 yards of fabric... I get that they are trying to sell their fabric line, but how stupid do they think I am?

I have tried the blades from Harbor Freight...they do not work for me...perhaps the quality is not consistent since some ladies from QB have had good luck with them.

I hate it that patterns to download are the same price as the ones purchased at a quilt store. If I have to download and then print, it shouldn't cost the same.

I agree on the patterns they are mostly all over priced applique patterns are so easy to come by Dover books --old coloring book also books from visitor centers and even Aunt Marthas embroidery patterns lots of places and then design them myself

Have never bought a pattern, toooo many free ones! And rulers, bought some when I first started, never use them! But there are some I can't live without too.....live and learn!

Patterns. I learned to draft in my first quilting class so I rarely buy a pattern.

Hi bearisgray,I got fed up with buying patchwork magazines, they so often seem to recycle ideas and are so full of advertising. Forums like this have much more to offer.
