Katybob, thanks for the reply. I am doing the BOM from Fabric Fanatics, in Plano, TX. It's batiks with a light background. I actually live near to Stitchin Heaven, and they always have a DJ BOM going--they do traditional fabrics and they have two others right now, blue and white or red and white. But when I saw this one in batiks it called out to me like none of the others have! So now I'm hooked, I'm a woman on a mission. Just can't get this dang printer to work. It hasn't worked for anything in the lessons. Haven't tried to print just a block. Will read chapter 11 tonight and put on my serious thinking hat and see if I can get it to do anything. I just wondered if this is a common problem or not. That's OK, I'm up for a serious challenge right now. Conniemarie
