Go back and try again. Sometimes if there is high traffic on the net you can't get it to download. Also you have to scroll backwards in her site to find the previous blocks for tweets.
She really has an outstanding site with lots of tips and visual help. I don't use her glue technique for applique but I think that she does an outstanding presentation.
Let us know if you continue to have trouble downloading.

I just tried to download the files again, but it still isn't working. :cry: :cry: :cry: I never have trouble downloading PDF files. All I'm getting is a gray screen, and the hourglass stays on for a little bit, goes off and the file states "Done", but there is nothing there. I'm so dissapointed. :-( :cry: I read another post and they couldn't get it to work either. I guess we're just out of luck. Enjoy the BOM everyone. I'll still try from time to time to download the files, but I guess I'll have to sit this one out. :cry: :cry: I'm looking forward to seeing pics of your blocks. :wink:

When the screen is grey, just hit the 'reload' button on the right of the URL (the 2 little arrows)

I'm not sure I understand the downloading. My printer says the pdf file is only 35% in size. How do you get the download of the design in the 4 squares for 14" out of that?

Post here if this works. Maybe someone else can help as well since I'm not a computer wiz.
After all the adobe pfd are on the desktop I make a file and then save to my documents.

Thanks so much for trying to help me with this. I did as instructed (clicked on a block -- the picture of the block), but what is saved is the picture. Do the downloads include pattern pieces? I guess I could simply make my own patterns from the pictures of each block. :(

Go to the link above. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and start working your way up. At some point you will come to an area that says "block one part one'.......something
like that. These are sections for one block. I have copied an example of what I mean below...click.

I had already tried those, too. The link you sent me ended the same as the ones on the site -- only get a gray screen. :cry: :cry: Thanks for trying so hard to help me. It was so very kind of you.

I haven't tried printing any yet. Are you trying to print the part 1 thru 4 of a block? Those are the ones you need to print Try telling the printer to print at 100%.

I brought up My Tweet Block 3 part 1 and clicked on the print icon in the PDF screen. It shows it on an 8.5x11 paper, Page Scaling of None.

If I bring up the FULL pattern (in one file) it is at 34% and it would print the whole thing on one page, not big enough for the applique. That one is just to reference if you want it.

Thanks for sharing this BOM site - I have printed the patterns for the first three blocks and have placed an order for the center block. I love bird patterns - and this is going to be my next project.
