    Okay, will have to find out just how to add the picture on after I get it done.

    I can take a picture or even scan it, but how to add it is what I need to know, just what to go into.

    Hmmm for some reason I am also having printer problems...I get a message that says "printer spool service not running" anyone have a clue?
    I was wondering if I could just trace the pattern from my computer screen?

    I was so excited last night after reading ALL the messages, finally got the computer & printer to connect, printed out template A @ 100%, the 1" test sq. measures 1" but boy the pattern pieces look so small.....how do i know if I am on track as far as the measurments? again they just seem so small, which is probably why I have always avoided learned pp. I have today to sew all day & was really hoping to accomplish today..any help would be very much appreciated.
    Sorry , I truly hope I am not going to be annoying .

    Measure the test square on all three pages templates, all of three squares should measure 1". If they do you are good to go, and will end up with a 10.5" unfinished church blocks!
    Have fun!

    Candi huge thanks...as you could probably tell I am one of those nervous nellies when doing something out of my comfort zone, which is one of the reasons I am forcing myself to learn this. All my test sq. measured out exactly right, so I guess I am good to go.
    Thanks again

    p.s. also joined my local quilt guild last week, another huge step out of my comfort zone-boy don't know if I can handle all this..lol :-) :-)

    I hear you! Yippee for you both on your test squats being exact and joining your local guild, it is good for us to get out of our comfort zone every once and a while!

    After printing out all 3 templates, B & C look bigger the A even though each 1" test sq measures the 1". I printed it out in landscape mode as was suggested.
