God bless, Dee

We will all be waiting to see a picture of your finished Church block!! :thumbup: Nothing wrong with being picky!!
:D :D :D :D

Okay, will have to find out just how to add the picture on after I get it done.

I can take a picture or even scan it, but how to add it is what I need to know, just what to go into.

Hmmm for some reason I am also having printer problems...I get a message that says "printer spool service not running" anyone have a clue?
I was wondering if I could just trace the pattern from my computer screen?

I was so excited last night after reading ALL the messages, finally got the computer & printer to connect, printed out template A @ 100%, the 1" test sq. measures 1" but boy the pattern pieces look so small.....how do i know if I am on track as far as the measurments? again they just seem so small, which is probably why I have always avoided learned pp. I have today to sew all day & was really hoping to accomplish today..any help would be very much appreciated.
Sorry , I truly hope I am not going to be annoying .

Measure the test square on all three pages templates, all of three squares should measure 1". If they do you are good to go, and will end up with a 10.5" unfinished church blocks!
Have fun!

Candi huge thanks...as you could probably tell I am one of those nervous nellies when doing something out of my comfort zone, which is one of the reasons I am forcing myself to learn this. All my test sq. measured out exactly right, so I guess I am good to go.
Thanks again

p.s. also joined my local quilt guild last week, another huge step out of my comfort zone-boy don't know if I can handle all this..lol :-) :-)

:thumbup:

After printing out all 3 templates, B & C look bigger the A even though each 1" test sq measures the 1". I printed it out in landscape mode as was suggested.
