My pet peeve is when a pattern designer's cutting directions use the full 18" width of a fat quarter. Depending on the fabric manufacturer, a fat quarter may just barely be 18" wide, or less so once you trim it to get your cuts on grain. So you have to cut as carefully as someone dismantling a bomb and just roll with your pieces being off grain and fraying more easily.
I also have a pet peeve about about cutting pieces to an eight of an inch measurement. I'll grumble and do it anyway, or cut them slightly oversized if I've got enough fabric, but I love any pattern I can cut with my Creative Grids Stripology ruler.

Why do they have to post their life story, with the recipe (finally!) at the end of it??
I agree. I think these video makers think they're making themselves more relatable or giving their content feel more cozy like you're hanging out with a quilting friend. Sometimes we're not as entertaining as we think lol.
