Which browser do you use? I thought I had all my templates for the church block measuring 1", but then I guess one was a hair bigger and caused some seams not to match, I was using Firfox and had to play with the blocks a lot to get them all to what thought was one inch test square. I tried to do this one with Safari, too much work and still couldn't get it, Google Chrome was a problem too, I had to dig up my old laptop that had Internet Explorer and wallah, all templates meAsuring beautifully with no fiddling at all!! I was going to get rid of that old computer, guess not now..

Internet Explorer is what I use.

Patrice, just a comment and a question, I use Firefox and love it! However, I seem to always have a problem with the paper pieced patterns from this site printing correctly using FF, I always have to adjust all the templates and by different numbers, and it makes me nervous, lol. Why in the world would having the 100% scale not print correctly? Are there settings that I need to fix?

Thanks for taking the time to help us here.

Yep, IE worked beautifully for me right away, wish I had used it for my church block, maybe I should redo that one...decisions, decisions...

i'm not a lawyer, so this is an amateur guess.

since the patterns may be downloaded for personal use exclusively by the person who downloads them, my guess is that cutting them apart to use for applique templates would constitute reasonable personal use.

thank you pkward

I adjusted the margins (moved everything down) in Print Preview, printed off the top half of the page, readjusted the margins (moved everything up), and then printed off the bottom half of the page. That way I won't have anything cut off. :wink: It worked fine by doing it that way.

WOO-HOO!!!!! Just found out that I have a SNOWDAY tomorrow!!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: So after I help dig out I will get started working on my farmhouse. I think I will browse through my fabrics tonight so I will be ready to go!!! Hey, if things go as I think they will, we might just get TWO snowdays out of this blizzard!!! The principal told some of our secondary students today that with the bitter cold that is to follow the storm we might not have school on Friday either! Keepin' my fingers and toes crossed!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: A long weekend will give me more time to sew and work on my teacher homework! :D I might actually get to finish one of my UFOs, too!! :shock:

Mine printed fine also, but I did have a problem with the church. Violet

You're welcome! Glad it worked for you!

I used the Paint program in accessories and just copy and pasted from the original(saved to my desktop) to make the proper sizes. I only had to copy pattern B...copied out the top stair section and the bottom stair section and also the test square into a new paint page....saved everything then printed with margins set for 0.25 on all sides. MACs should have a similar program.

I had my dh try to print temp. B from his Mac. His was even smaller than mine, not even 3/4 "

I am almost finished sewing this block and have some suggestions....... the sequence of sewing on the "front walk section" might be easier if you sew the "front walk" first then add the grass on either end.
Also on the "porch roof section" sew the "porch roof" first then add the sky to either end. Saves some fabric and ripping out as the angle creates a problem.
Just a suggestion.. Violet

i use firefox also and had trouble with the church block printing. had to use internet explorer to get it right. however, with this farmhouse i use firefox and it seems to have printed just fine with the exception of the margins. just turned to landscape and printed again. now have all pieces appearing to be ok. we shall see when i try to sew it. appears that different browsers and printers react differently with quilter's cache templates. oh, well. just one more of life's little challenges.

Thanks, took note here. It does seem easier to start in the middle.

How interesting!

I was trying to figure out a revised way of doing it, too. Thanks for the heads up!! :thumbup:

I love this idea! I am looking at all the pieces and thinking I will never be able to keep it straight, now I have another tool to help me.

I, for one would love to try embroidery. Bring it on!

What a pretty block! I have my pattern all printed out and fabrics all chosen. I hope to have my block done and picture up soon. Thank you for doing this!!

well, I'm still working on the church but I've printed this out. I will catch up LOL!!!!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, quess I will have to learn paper piece soon. I love the blocks. Beth in cold Co

Not sure if everyone is aware of it yet, but Sulabug is the first one to post a pic of her farmhouse!!! It's under the topic: 1 February 2011 BOM Farmhouse Pictures. You really need to check out the blocks on there!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :D Too cute!!!

JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW YOU AREN'T ALONE...:}

Thanks for the headsup on going to the website.
pab58, I hear you about digging out after the bizzard, I think that will be a good idea, i think I have some good stash pieces that might look good on this one.

I couldn't find it?

i had a problem with a template that was too long fo my paper so i went into my printer program and set it for legal size then got some legal size paper and got it.

I think I should take a snow day in California from my class so you are not alone. Stay at home and stay safe. I heard your storm is a big one.

Short & Sweet,
I sent you a PM with the picture site for you to see. Hope this helps get you there!! :D

Here is the link to the pictures:

We will be anxiously waiting to see your finished block!!
Have Fun,

Thank heavens. I wish I could fin some replacements, because I so want a house quilt. I'm looking fast & furious.

it's a shame you dont live close enough to buddy up with someone to make the PP blocks

Sure is, but don't know of any. Are there any takers out there? I will supply the fabrics.

These patterns should be done as PDFs, maybe there wouldn't be so many problems with them.

I use CutePDF to convert my own patterns to PDF. It is a free program that looks to your PC like a printer and you just print to that printer. It then comes up with a box to save the file as... Give it a name, and it creates a PDF out of it.

I'M DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!!!

After a month of headache and disappointment, I can now print out the blocks to the right size. Do you know why..........
Someone, can't remember who said try printing it out with IE. I don't use IE (hate the program--not sure why), I use Firefox (lots of nifty add-ons). It never occurred to me to use IE. Whoever made the suggestion, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I am in the same shoes here! My computer doesn't even like IE, and I love Firefox. Always had problems with the Cache templates...I knew there was a reason I kept the old laptop with IE. Glad it is working for you too :thumbup: :thumbup:

Such a cute idea-now you have my wheels turns-thanks :} can't wait to see yours.

Think about doing the same house with applique.
I bet it would be easy and fun to try.
:-D

I'm determined to use only fabrice that I already have for this project.

I'm not sure I will do this one, as the pieces are so tiny, I can't see to get them on correctly. I wasted so much on the last one, that I don't have any to waste this time.


But I will enjoy looking at the ones the others are going to be doing.

Skydiver70,
I certainly understand that you are passing on this block, but I hope you will pick up with us again, when March comes along. We will miss seeing your neat block!!
:D :D :D :D

Thanks for the tip. Violet
