You are so right, Amy. And I think that is where the problem comes in. Some people consider they are buying a pattern and some people consider they are buying instructions on a technique. The author needs to make that determination and list it on the tutorial.
"This is a pattern tutorial and you will need the following list of materials and tools in order to copy this bead."
"This is a technique tutorial. By using this tutorial I hope you will learn to use the techniques I used to create a bead similar to the one pictured. You may use whatever glass you wish, but within the tutorial I do list what glasses I used to achieve a bead similar to the photos."
