It take time to get things arranged one wants them but once that work is done, it is simpler to maintain going forward. In this case, I am referring to the writing of patterns. One has to determine how much instruction to provide - will the quilters be novices or very experienced. One has to decide if multiple sizes should be offered or should a single size be included allowing the quilter to determine what modifications are needed to change the size.
Each of these decisions determines how much work needs to be done in writing and testing the pattern. There is no way that I would publish a pattern that did not have amply testing. In the case of my patterns, I test them after they are written and then send them out for a independent party to test.
That independent party happens to be my efriend and BFF, Joanne. Joanne lives in Tennessee but with email and chatting, we keep in touch. Her input has been invaluable in making my directions clearer and with fewer mistakes.
I am responsible for any mistakes that do exist within my patterns. all efforts are made to avoid mistakes but I am human so sometimes, something might get by me. If you spot something that you believe to be a mistake, please contact me with the particulars.
My goal is to have two patterns ready for sale by December 1. Instructions are written for both patterns. One is in the testing stage. The other is waiting for me to make before I send it off for testing.
Please stay tuned for more developments.
