Wahoo, thank you all for your help. I've spent most of the morning, trying to figure it out. Admittedly I get muddled and confused! The problem was indeed the zip files needed to be unzipped. I downloaded it to my old desktop, which has a wizard to extract zip files. I need a wizard, for sure, lol. I've transferred my paisley pattern, plus a few free designs, to my 1 gb. flash drive, and my machine recognizes them, so I didn't waste my money on the first design I've purchased. Bye, gotta go quilt. Y'all are the best! Think spring.
