I have a [hopefully quick] question for those familiar with the software print - someone had said you can 'move' pieces around before printing. That I could do - but how do you add another block's pieces to the first one to actually use more of the paper? Do you have to make it all go to one side and then run through the printer again to get the next pattern on the other end hoping there's no overlap?

If you are prining just the block outlines the yes you can fit two blocks on a page. I adjust the top margin as narrow as my printer will allow and print block 1, then rotate the paper to print block 2. If I remember you cannot print any text in the header. When doing tris the tri can be nudged via the margins so a right and left tri will fit on one page.
I am handpiecing so I print the blocks outlines on freezer paper, (not the provided templates) cut apart with scissors and adhere with the iron. When I cut apart the fabric I add seam allowance. Please see Linda Franz for great instructions on the process.
