If you have a problem and ask for help from someone who definately KNOWS what they are talking about, don't be a dummy and forget what they told ya!

Case in point, last year I had a heck of a time with a weave and sought Doc's advise. He told me what he thought and even adjusted my pattern for me.
The smaller lettering was a mess as well as other issues so Doc advised me that the smaller text probably wasn't going to work. "Less is More" he said. He fixed the pattern & removed the small lettering.
I never got back to trying the pattern again until now. Getting the pattern I see 2, my original and the one Doc adjusted for me. Well, my weaving skills & understanding have improved since last year and I thought as I opened MY original pattern, "I can make this work!" Small letting and all.

Yeah right, as if I know better then one of my teachers! Stupid is as Stupid does. I see it all the time and now I'm the guilty one.
