    I am working on the civil war quilt. A lot of the patterns I use have to be mirror imaged so when I sew them they are correct. I am paper piecing the blocks. Is there an easy way to do this. Confused.

    I think it would work if you recopied the lines onto the back of the paper. When you sew it, it should be mirrored. I hope I am not leading you astray. You could try it on some scrap fabric.

    My printer program has a mirror image function, I use that. Look around in the preferences or advanced tab when you start to print out the next one :D:D:D

    Most stores that have copy machines for public use have the mirror image feature.

    I have a corel Paint shop pro program that I use to resize, flip, edit, and mirror things. I use it with my quilting and also to edit pictures etc.
