crankyoldmanFinally got this. I wanted to make a video to explain some of this, it ended up being two youtube videos because I babble.
Also important: if you want to store a pattern for later, don't stuff it back in the envelope! Put it in a plastic zip bag. The "gallon" (or whatever the metric equivalent is) size works well for containing most patterns. This helps to keep water off the paper and means that it won't get all scrunched up.
Some people prefer to take their patterns (particularly if they are dealing with OLD patterns) and trace them onto paper and not cut them out. This is up to you! Just because one person did it that way doesn't mean actually cutting them out is wrong. Or vice versa.
More info:
- Grainlines
- Better images for pattern symbols
- More definitions
- More explanations for things I didn't go over
