it looks like all the same pieces except your E = my A

I just finished the first set of blocks!! I love them. I cannot believe that I went from ZERO paper piecing experience straight to THIS!! LOL I think I'll be able to PP anything after this project, eh?? :D

I haven't come up with a real name yet for mine... but I'm using fabrics that are my interpretation of civil war reproductions and muslin. So Civil War Repro for now!

you're a PP pro - they look stunning!!!

you can paper piece anything now - its really easy once you get the basic idea - there isn't a block you can't PP.

Way to go Brazen! Your blocks are stunning. I'm so impressed that you are self taught paper piecer. I was so confused, I had to take a class, and even then, it took additional time at the instructor's house to get it down!

My pieces are not printing out the same as yours Look at your Unit C When I look at your triangle units together you read the numbers from right to left.
I do not have the mirror choice clicked and mine read from left to right. I have printed 2 ways from the software, working on quilt select triangle (learned this from BC last night) click the icon size from quilt changes to correct size go to top print icon choose foundation and go from there, the other way work on block, harder to find the triangle you want but after you select the one you want choose print using the print icon on top of screen, make sure you change the size and preview print. Both come out the same, Unit C stills read from left to right, 1,2,etc. Does this make sense.

Problem solved, I left the DJ software open and hadn't closed it since last night. I closed the software and brought it back up and it printed the right way, numbers reading from right to left on Unit C, I don't have an unit E named (there is an E, it's just not named). I'll let you know about the mirror part. I just can't let go until I have a solution.

i understand what you saying about how the numbers read but where i have #1 you have #1 too and where i have #5 you have #5.

are numbers are in the exact same triangle sections except my piece isn't printing upside down.

when i preview my blocks/triangles my pieces are all a mess and on top of each other.

i have to pull them all apart and move then around, i've never had my pieces nicely placed like yours.

user3587

I had to move them around as well. One other question I know I've asked before. Before you sew your first seam, the paper is on top of the fabric, the printed side of the paper is facing you and the fabric under the paper is wrong side up. This is what you see when you look thru the paper. I may have another question after you answer this one.

kluedesigns

yes.

printed side of paper is facing me. directly under that is number 1 fabric with the wrong side up and directly under that is number 2 fabric with right side up.

i sew the line between 1 and 2 and then i press fabric number 2 open so it covers the section 2 on the paper.

It works out perfect. I just clicked on the reverse and everything looks okay. The next block that I did stayed in the reverse without a change in anything.
I did have to check the reverse for the triangle, that didn't stay in reverse for the second triangle. I don't feel that that is a problem though.
