After editring, you have to click on review or preview and then somewhere in the upper bar click on move and you can then click, hold and drag to get it all on one page.

I bought it as it's the only thing they have, but I can return it if you all say that will not work at all.

I ran to Office Depot real quick and they only have 1 choice as well, and it's 30 lb. paper, 50 sheets, $9.99.
Return it, I bought some at Staples not for paper pieceing however and 29 lb is too heavy. I tried it when I first learned about the vellium paper. The weight needs to be around 17 I think. I know anything 20 or higher is too heavy.
I got some at Staples also and thought it felt a lot heavier than the paper Klue so kindly sent me samples of. Won't that be nice if this is the reason BR2 and the center strip in E-12 made me crazy and didn't turn out right? I'm glad I ordered the paper from the RaNae store Klue recommended. I almost didn't, thinking I have fifty sheets which will carry me. Now I wait for delivery, try Carol Doaks which jams, or work on that lovely applique piece D3 that I can practice being a cozy quilter with. I'm not experienced with applique but thought when I took the class for this project that it is very relaxing.
It's like a winter wonderland here in Chicago. I love it! Have a good day girls!

Thanks for the directions on putting photos. Printed it out so can get help if I need it. Our weather is really bad but will go to Best as soon as it clears. Still haven't received my paper and the video. I bought some at Office Depot and it is too thick. Tried to cut down 17 tracing vellum as it is not printer size and it won't go through my printer. My package is on the way. Doing some of the easier blocks on the list but not happy with my work. Determined!

so far i've been able to get all the pieces onto one sheet of paper when i print.

you do have to go into the "preview" section first and move/shift some pieces around to make things happen.

for the triangles, i'll really had to be creative to get all the pieces to fit - some times i've got them shoved into each and every corner as far as they can go.

try playing around with moving the pieces.

please let me know if you need help.

just remember - click on the move button then click on the piece you wish to move and drag it to its new location.

i think thats going to be too thick to use for these blocks.

the paper we're using is 17 weight so its a big difference.

*sigh* I can't seem to look at the knowingly gorgeous quilt! :(

Klue do you know how I can export the image from the DJ software as a jpeg or other uploading friendly file?
with the DJ stuff, i just opened the exported file from DJ and then save it again as a jpeg and then upload it to the forum.

it bugs me to no end that i just can't save the pic from DJ as a jpeg to begin with.

So now, do you do anything differently when its dinky pieces...I bought alot of 9*11 pieces, and several Fat Eighths bundles online. Same deal on the washing? Thanks in advance. My fabric will hopefully arrive via post by Monday. I am doing the DJ Lessons on the software...and will start the online tutorial by amma and somebody else after that. It is great to see new people hopping on the bandwagon. Welcome! Its going to be embarrassing if you all get ahead of me. LOL.
yes, for smaller cuts of fabric i do the same thing.

toss in a pillowcase, tie it off, wash, and then untie the pillowcase when washed, and toss it all in the dryer.

i just did this today with 4 packs of kona cotton pastel charms that are going into a baby quilt next week.

i used synthrapol in the wash instead of the colorcatchers because i didn't sort the pastel colors i did the cream right along with the purples, pinks, yellows, and greens.
