So, where am I going to put this barn now???
That is assuming I can find a way to get those 3 missing pieces printed off.
Try this though I'm sure all computers and printers are diff but I did "print preview"...Then I adjusted to 100% not shrink to fit...Then on my screen right above the template on the top,bottom and sides I noticed arrows...If you move those it moves the margins...WA LA I got what I needed that was cut off. Hope this works on your end...

Please share if you figure out how to get all pieces printed off correctly. I think this is the hardest part of paper piecing----getting the pattern printed correctly.

Just printed it, everything went fine. I didn't need to make any adjustments.

What's the secret? A lot of us have problems getting the correct 1" test sq.

I think I just got lucky, this is what I did. I always go to print preview, to make sure everything fits. The settings were at 100%. I wish I could be more helpful, but I don't know what I did to get them to come out correctly. With the other BOM, some of the pages had to be printed on landscape, but this one didn't

I got mine printed. I hope to be able to work on it this Sunday.
Not crazy about another PP but I can see that houses lend themselves to this method.

It's funny how all printers are different. I ended up printing mine at 146% and for template B I used 147%. After I got A correct, I printed out another before I closed the window. :-) Hope this helps. Can't wait to see pictures.

I didn't have to make any adjustments either. I definitely have with other patterns though. Not sure why not this time.
