Once a walker sets foot upon the Pattern, he must continue following its labyrinthine course to the center; stopping for too long, or leaving the pathway of the Pattern, results in a terrible death.

There are happy little bunnies all over the yard. But there are no impatiens left for them to devour, so they make do with dandelion greens and other weeds that do not fit the pattern.
Yes, you’ll see it all here, folks! One thin dollar! Step right up! Enter the Frog Applause big tent! Hurry! See how sewing can be so shocking! Your mother never told you! Just one thin dollar gets you the truth about sewing deviancy!

Of course… if you aren’t in a Gulag or a third world sweat shop, you can take whatever liberties with the pattern that you like.

Deviating from the pattern is not “mistakes.” It is “design elements.”

So, Mom, Dad, watch your wee ones like a hawk. Coloring outside the lines often leads to catastrophic tendencies in adults.

They took away our bunnies, but they can’t silence us by taking away our music!

You’re a deviant if there’s any deviation from the Norm. So unless you’re the fat guy at the end of the bar…
