MakersHourQuestionsQ5: This ‘dishcloth’ thing came about from my misreading last week. What funny or confusing misreadings, potential or actual, have you had in your making? Instructions, measurements, or whatever you casually read during your projects.

A5. Measure twice cut once holds for fabric as well as for wood.
Making directions make more sense after misapplying them once or more.
The dishcloth misreading is adorable and the sort of thing I would be prone to.
But mostly "read the instructions through multiple times, mentally rehearse the steps" is what I tell myself.
