    If you search using bing, there are buttons on the side that let you preview the content

    I have a problem with "about". You can't print just the instructions and pictures. It's all divided into pages and you have to print them one at a time...or maybe there's a hidden code that I'm not seeing!

    Joy, the quilt in your avatar is drool-worthy; can you post a larger picture and tell a bit about it. It looks a bit over-the-top for machine embroidery, so I'm assuming it's applique. Whatever, it is fabulous looking.

    Thank you Weeezie. My avatar quilt is an appliqued Baltimore Album. I hand applique using the freezer paper method. Have made several appliqued quilts as it is my favorite thing to do. I would love to post a larger picture for you but I have not learned how to post pictures. I am new at this so maybe I will figure it out.

    Thanks, Joy. I like to applique and have a lot of great applique quilt designs that I'm itching to do. However, the only one I've ever done is just a top that's in a box with several pieced tops that I need to sandwich & quilt, so I'm running waaaaay behind where I'd like to be.

    I am looking forward to your learning how to & posting a big picture. I can do it, so therefore it is easy! Instructions are available (try the HELP at the top of the page).

    BING is a problem because it takes you to non-related pages. Who's idea was that?

    google drives me nuts, i use yahoo. but even then you have to watch what links you click on. read them first and remember which type ones give you those problems. bit by bit you will become a good searcher.
    also search Images rather than web and when you see a quilt you like click on that, then look at what web page it is. sometimes works better.

    I have been using Bing. Results are more concise.
