@bhorning001, To print, try this: highlight the text, then right-click on it. You'll get a window that gives you the option to "copy." Do that, and then paste the text into a word document. You should be able print that document that way. We also have a big blue Print button on top of each pattern. I hope this helps! --Editor of FaveCrafts

like the jeans with the butterfly pattern. BUT could not move the butterfly over to get it to print. Guess it needed to be page 3 as each time I tried to print the design it disappeared!!!
