Golden Kite question

I've a question for anyone who's ordered from Golden Kite before. Have you had any trouble with the fabric sizes listed in the pattern? I just received a copy of the Markos Botsaris pattern, and all the fabric sizes are off by a factor of 2.54. Not a critical issue, as calculating required fabric size is easy enough, but was wondering if it's just this pattern or whether it's happened elsewhere as well.

Sounds like a conversion problem between metric and imperial.

That's my immediate thought - esp since that's the conversion number for centimeters to inches. :)

that was my immediate thought on seeing the value... obviously they borrowed NASA's computers :)

I didn't have a problem with Napoleon. I remember the chart listed fabric sizes in both inches and centimeters. There was a big pretty table and everything.

So yeah, I got nothin'.

Everyone's already mentioned the conversion issue, but might I say, CoH FTW! :D
