Could Improve the pattern

This is the second pattern I have purchased. The first had great marks, a scissor, to help ensure you lined up the pattern correctly. I love their patterns just wish they had the "scissor" mark on this one pattern.

Follow up:
They were very responsive and corrected the "scissor issue". Love their patterns and customer service and would buy from them again!
