When printing from my Mac I noted the 1" test block was off. Somehow I discovered an automatic resize as a option under 'edit' & voila it worked!

I found away to enlarge it to 1 1/2". Would that be okay?

Here is a table that shows how to enlarge and reduce blocks to different sizes, works great for PP as long as all your templates are enlarged or reduced by the same percentage..I sound like a broken record, :mrgreen:

Carol Doak suggests you don't knot your thread. Start just before the line, and use very short stitches...this not only helps prevent the threads from coming out at the ends, but also helps in tearing off the paper.
Another hint: Don't tear off the paper until your block is in the quilt. That way it won't stretch, and should still be perfect!
