dont really remember if I did or not. come to think abt. probably didnt. but it is still a good thing to measure any printed out pattern before it is cut. I love the block. I sewed my first curves and they turned out fine. I have always been uneasy about curves but found out as long as the 1/4 is right it isnt to bad. Later today I am going to put my picture software on this laptop. If I can then I can post the Picture. Bonnie
