Maybe you can copy and paste the longer ones to a word document and cut out the parts you don't need? Then the printing would be customized to your needs/wants :D:D:D
I know many here really like and appreciate some of the more detailed tutorials, and would hate to see them shorten them up :link: :D:D:D

That is what I do with a lot of things--copy to Word, edit, then print or just Save as a document. We can use such long file names now that one can see at a glance what is in the file. Hard to believe we used to be limited to 8 characters for a file name!! (Back in the "old" days--i.e. 1980's)

Please keep the long tutorials. I hate getting in the middle and then not getting the rest where I can understand it. Wastes the fabic as I never finish. SUGGESTION - I do not print them. I take my cutting board to my computer or bring laptop to sewing room and just follow along on the screen. No paper, no ink, no waste.

that typically means many more photos and text then if they were prepared for advanced people only.
i personally appreciate the tutes and the time it takes for them to be put together regardless of how lengthy they are.

If you googl 955 printer which is a prodect of Adobe you can down load this printer which you can than print the tutorials and save them to a file on your compter. The 955 printer converts the thing you want printed to a PDF file. This comes in very handy
