    I’m also having problems printing pattern. My husband says it’s because it is in Adobe file and I don’t have that on my Apple computer. I’m going to try to email the file to myself and then print. Don’t know if it will work.

      Just finished watching all Barbara’s excellent videos for the 2nd time and have started my first house. I’m finding using my edge stitch foot really helpful for stitching along the side of the paper it’s a 10/10D on my Bernina. Thanks again for holding our hands as we sew Barbara

        I too had that problem sine I’ve been using my IPad mini. The only way I could solve it was to print from Adobe Acrobat on my husband’s windows computer. The IPad didn’t give me the opportunity to select 100% or full size. I did try putting Adobe on my mini but that didn’t solve the problem. Hope this helps.

              Just spitballing ... but I wonder if the problems some people are having printing with Adobe Reader have something to do with Adobe Flash being kaput ...

              https://news.yahoo.com/adobe-flash-player-finally-laid-003310984.html

              I would say 1. update your browsers and 2. make sure you didn't uninstall Adobe Reader when you may have uninstalled Flash.

                        The Web site says that this pattern will be available when the new Web site rolls out this month. It's a beautiful pattern and well worth the wait!

                          LadyLiz, Even though it will be a few weeks before Janet Stone's 2014 BOM pattern will be available again. You can still get a head start by going to
                          the videos. They are still posted. HelenW

                            I am really loving making the houses. I finished my small houses 1.
                            For me, a little bit of glue to start and the automatic thread cutter ( I never pulled the freezer paper off when cutting) made a big difference. I did not need a special foot. The freezer paper made the perfect guide. Now on to Small House 2.
