“Honestly, the pattern files and the instruction booklet are terrific. One of the best I've come across. The instructions are very detailed but never overly so, and most steps are very well explained. I really appreciate the clarity on which edges to overlock when - I've not seen any other patterns be so clear about this but it really helped with the construction. Excellent job.” - @heyheycrochet
