I need both written directions and a diagram. If I had to give up one, I would choose to give up the written directions.LOL!

I am totally a visual person. If I want to purchase a pattern to make a quilt, I will take it out of pkg and peruse until I understand it viusally.

I've always been a visual person. Even before trying to make quilts. When ever I wanted some thing that I found in a sore or a magazine I would draft my own plans and build it. I SAVED A LOT OF MONEY OVER THE YEARS BY MAKING STUFF MYSELF.

Patterns are good for technical stuff but for the most part all I need is a picture and I'm good to go. That goes for sewing, furniture making, plumbing or electrical layouts, barns or sheds. Pretty much anything that is made, a person that learns visually can do it if they really want to.

Actually I like to be shown as I find patterns confusing.

Bit like maps really, I always seem to read them back to front and upside down :lol:

Cheers

I am definitly a visual person. If someone shows me how to do something I get it right away but if it is just written instructions I have to reread several times.
