We have updated both the May and June BOM patterns. You will notice that we have added the text "Updated June 20, 2014" at the top of page 1 and the same statement at the bottom of all subsequent pages. This way, if you would like to only print out one page, you know you have the correct version. We will in future do this for any pattern corrections.

 
We will post an announcement in the Daily Blog/Newsletter and on the Forum when there is a new and corrected version. We hope that this will help to eliminate any confusion and frustration.
