As with the templates and the paper piecing patterns you just have to put "no scaling" on the print options. I'm sorry the test print didn't work out...not sure why that was. Overall I was very happy with the yahoo group paper piecing patterns. Hope you have better luck next time. <br /><br />Thanks for your nice words about my quilt!<br />Happy quilting!<br />AmberGigi's Thimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02104714701161170769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111251612193454477.post-85763728164175214052014-04-17T21:26:40.063-06:002014-04-17T21:26:40.063-06:00I know this is an old post so I hope you still see...I know this is an old post so I hope you still see it. I am making plans to do a farmer's wife quilt soon, and I was wondering if you had any problems with the paper piecing patterns from the yahoo group? Did yours end up 6.5" unfinished? I had my husband test print one of the patterns for me today at work and it came out at 5.5". It might be a scaling issue but I have read of others having trouble with the patterns as well. Curious what your experience was.<br /><br />Your blocks are really beautiful, by the way!Heather D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07536310683899818314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111251612193454477.post-48385897784908433892014-03-05T18:44:58.374-07:002014-03-05T18:44:58.374-07:00I am just starting the Farmers Wife quilt and the ...I am just starting the Farmers Wife quilt and the hardest thing is to decide what fabrics to use.

I've only once tried paper-piecing (without any knowledge how to), it was really fun to do but I blew so much fabric, when I folded it back it was to short :)<br /><br />I love your red/white colors.
