Is it possible to do these on as few pages as you can. One of them took 31 pages and that is a lot of expensive ink. THANK YOU - just a question.

Some tutorials are lengthier than others :D depending on what is being taught, and at what level. :D:D:D

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 :wink: :D:D:D

wonder if you can convert them to pdf files?

this is a forum of beginners to advanced quilters and tutorials are prepared so that beginners to advanced people can follow the directions.

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.

I use Microsoft OneNote. That way I can reference it when I need it, print the parts I want. I understand about the page/ink problem but I would hate to see the tutes shortened. If the person shortens it, the part she/he may think is self explanatory may not the so to someone else.

Oh, I definitely appreciate them - there's no doubt about that.
I was just surprised, I guess, when my printer kept printing and printing and printing. I love those tutorials, so guess I must retract my suggestion.

Please! Do not shorten the tutorials! It is all about learning each step! You don't have to print them. I bookmark them and go back and refer to them.

Just did Amma's tutorial today on PP. It is great by the way.

Another thought :D can you set your printer to print two pages per page? It is smaller print, and it may not use as much ink :D:D:D

Also, are you just printing the tutorial, or the tutorial and all the comments? If you use print preview to figure out where the tutorial ends and the comments start, then just print the actual pages you need, it might cut down on some of the extra paper.
