I used some margin settings that someone suggested from the last month's block. Go to print preview, disable "shrink to fit" and reset margins to L 0.5, rt 0.25, top 0.5, bottom 0.25. Use portrait setting. Worked for me this time.

I haven't tried printing this one yet, but I'm thinking that since since so many of us are adding some fabric to make 12" blocks, maybe it doesn't really matter if it turns out a little different size. The adjustment can be made in the edge pieces. Of course, if there are differences within the pattern itself, like the church windows, that's different. Ain't technology great. At first I thought, why doesn't the website correct the pattern, but look at the different results just among us. Between different computers, different browsers, different printers, we're a mess! :):)

This time I'm learning and taking things slow and in steps. Printed the templates and found out I had to print A at 105% and B at 104%. I then cut out the pieces to join to be sure all is OK. Had to adjust right and left seam allowance of bottom barn as they were a bit larger but no problem with all other pieces lining up. NOTE - this makes a 10" square where Jan and Feb BOM's are 12" if that is what your planning. Next step for me will take time to figure out fabrics although I'm itching to put it together! Thanks - I was looking forward to March 1!!

If you preview print copy. Make sure 100% .. turn off Headers and Footers (Its the 5th Icon over if you start counting at the icon of printer.) Use your arrows on the page to adjust so everything is showing on page. Should only have to adjust bottom if you have turned of headers and footers. This is how I successfully printed out the pattern. Good Luck..hope this helps.
