I have used it and it all worked really well.

thanks Butterflywing. I just printed what I could of the tutoral from Patrice, but was unable to get the pattern to download to my computer. It is not found. I am having a lot of problems with all my downloads lately.

are you trying to download the right 'download'? it's the first one, where it says GRAPHICS, not on the bottom line, but on the line above that, all the way to the right.
i can't download that bottom line either.

OK thanks I will try it. I did print the instructions-most of them but no pattern. I found that there are 5 site pages to go through but I will do that tomorrow. I am tired as we went out to the Outback Spectacular last night at the Gold Coast. Well worth the second time too. Took SIL since he wasn't here in February when the girls took us for our 40th.
I tried to download where you said but it still wont come up. I don't have graphic on my computer to print out. Has any one got the pattern that they can email me please. I have all the other information I printed them out but can't download for some reason. This is not the only thing I can not do either. I am disappointed too, been trying to gt it for years and the the instructions are easy to follow. :cry:
