This is remarkably similar to a notice left on a Year 12 exam room door at my school, all those years ago. “Check that you have everything you need before coming into the examination hall.” And some wit had added to the notice: “If at any point during the examination you feel that you really must scream, please do it on the inside”.
I’m a pattern maker but I don’t know if I can help much (and yes, I think it’s hilarious). Pattern engineers can be temperamental. I used to keep a sign on my desk saying not to interrupt me unless the building was on fire.
“when ever see the engineer print on the cost sheet * needs to draw a line on the patt”
This could mean a couple of things. Before the pattern can be digitized to make it in all sizes, it must be checked, in this case by the pattern engineer (up a level from the grader/digitizer). Usually the notation * is used on the pattern piece itself to indicate the point of orientation of which there must be two asterisks to indicate the “grainline” to coordinate the piece to the xy axis. When done properly, it’s a long line with two asterisks like so *_______* and with an “A” off to one end (typical notation specific to older Gerber CAD software systems). The only thing that doesn’t make sense in this context is that a pattern correction (missing the grainline) would be made to the cost sheet. It’s usually made to the spec sheet but who knows, maybe they’re using the cost sheet as an all-in-one control doc.
The other likelihood is the asterisk indicates the style is dropped, meaning it won’t be produced (usually “DROP” is written across the cost sheet and all docs). In such case, you draw a long line or a big X on each pattern piece to indicate the pieces should not be used. You may wonder why the pieces aren’t simply thrown away instead but we save these for a future season or to provide templates for a subsequent style.
oh hai.
I cant read the red handwriting… but its something like:
* when ever see the engineer print in the cost shut * needs to draw a line in the path
I thought it said “…point on the cost sheet…” =/
I was wondering if it was something about an engineer panting? Is this an engineer trying to discover the key to happyness?
Every think is precious!
Every think is good!

Anyone thing that this isn’t that funny?
No, it’s your hideous grammar that’s laughable.
xD
Could be a crafty comment on the pic. Think/thing?
No, it’s your lack of sense of humor that’s hideous.
LOL!
Actually, what amuses me is your near-Engrish comment.
Just a tip: Proofreading helps.
It’s a joke. You know, a think that is funny. Get it? “think”. Oh, forget it.

The black script made me think of “CHECK YOUR BRAIN AT THE DOOR”
i can has a corm beform to get screaming?

wow… I’ll bet you’re the life of the party…
When check the grades I see that often my self is to frustration and scream will likely. Avoidance smell impossible.
