Really bad instructions

I picked up a Bucilla kit for making felt flowers for under $2 at HobbyLobby
not long ago. Last night, I pulled it out and got a massive headache when I
tried to decipher the instructions which are on 1 doubled sided page in
English, French, and Spanish. I understand that printing costs money but the
directions are so terse that they made little sense ... t'would have been
better to have more instructions or at least to have someone who is a native
English speaker re-read the English to make sure that the translation from
whatever the original language was came through for the average Jane.

That felt stocking I complained about a while back? Also a Bucilla
kit.

My sympathies.

Is it possible that it is the best they could do for under $2 lol Not
much margin there !

The kit originally sold for $12.95 and was marked down to $2. Don't have a clue
whether the kit contained wool or craft felt. I gave it away just a little
while ago to someone who came for a stitch and *itch session. She likes making
flowers and isn't as construction challenged as I am. An unkind soul might say
I bought her goodwill since I turned down her request to make something for a
chapter get together ;-)

If all else fails, read the instructions/handbook...
