    Episode 50: Saving $ on Editing

    Lets look at a few ways you can save time and money on the editing of your pattern. —Check spelling —Double check your abbreviations. Make sure that you are consistent with  their use and that all abbreviations are in your glossary. —Double check notions to ensure that if it's mentioned in the pattern,  it's listed. —Give yourself some time and then double check your numbers. Do  stitch/row counts create size suggested. —Check that Hyperlinks work. Make sure to give credit where credit is  due. Additional information on my website: Arctic Edits [https://arcticedits.com/]
