Well, I after waiting 2 days for Vogue customer service to reply to my email, I bit the bullet and stitching the shoulder seams and side seams on my new orange coat anyway.
Then, today, a reply:
Dear Salinda,
Thank you for your email concerning Vogue Pattern 1068.
Whenever possible we try to provide our home sewers with the information they
desire. Yes, after step 7, you should stitch the shoulders, and the sides, then
proceed with step 8. We appreciate you writing to let us know of this
discrepancy.Cordially,
Meg Carter

Yeah, thanks. I figured that out.
Murphy’s Law Salinda… as soon as you move forward, you get what you’ve been waiting for!!! I love the color, and you really can’t beat the price! Gotta love a bargain!
