Hmm, had to think about this for a moment. Each time I tie a pattern, whether for the first time or to restock, I typically discover a new way to tie it. It could be as simple as attaching material slightly differently to incorporating a rotary function not used previously. Quite often I discover a quicker/simpler way to tie.
The one time I do try to tie duplicates of a pattern identically is for a swap. I want everyone to get the same tie hopefully the best way I can tie it. Then again if I'm tying 12 of one pattern for a swap, there typically will be "rejects" that end up in my personal fly box. The fish I catch don't seem to mind.
