DonnaRae I haven't attempted yet because of all the problems everyone else had, I am not sure either what the problems were- maybe measurements were off on the template?
I have had HP printers and loved them also, I had other ones and I think these were by far better for me. I just had to get a new one after flooding and I got an HP Photosmart C6280 all-in-one. I really like this one. i scanned some fabric to make a pattern and It was hard to tell the fabric from the copy.
