Once you have purchased the pattern, you are allowed to go and make 1 working copy of it for your own use. Then you could reverse the design and have one facing each way.

thank you for your reply, but am not quite sure how copying the design would reverse it.
could you please explain this? thanks

I don't know how that would work either but then I am not very imaginative. That's a lot of stitching, especially twice!

My mother's first husband's last name was Eberlein from Nuernberg, Germany. It's not very common, that's why it popped out at me.

syagel or jlhewes will surely figure out how to do it.

Good luck.

Sorry - I worked at an office supply store :) When you copy there is an option on the machine for copying the design in reverse. The people at the store should be able to help you....show them the paragraph on the pattern that says 1 working copy is allowed for personal use only.

Thanks, Miss Kitty, I've just learned something new. Very good information too, as I have done two projects that I would have preferred to be facing in the opposite direction. It'll be a great option for Christmas stockings, they can then all face in the same direction. We have an outstanding print shop about 15 miles from here. The trip will be worth it.

The software you use with a flatbed scanner, or that comes with an All-In-One printer can flip an image. I wouldn't be without mine. Use it to copy, scan, print, & copy to file.

I wonder if that's what I have - have to ask my daughter. I can do all the things that you mentioned. I do make copies of patterns unless it's from a book. It doesn't turn out well because I can't get it flat enough.

Texas Stitcher: You can press the book down and leave the lid up. This should help. Also there should be a button or a means to print "book" copies from your printer (especially if it's an All-In-One). Try it.

jclifford, thanks. We can always count on our techie! How was your vacation? Got Oli and gotta run.

Hey Texas Stitcher! I did nothing but stitch all weekend! (Except Friday, I cleaned house so I could stitch all weekend). It was great! Will work 3 days and take off Friday and go to Georgia for the Memorial wall (wish I could stitch and drive at the same time! DH not going this time) and back to work on Wednesday. I will come back to North Carolina either Sunday late or early Monday morning and stitch until I go to work on Wednesday! Yay!!!

Almost finished with one baby sampler, Sugar and Spice by Sue Hillis (baby was born on August 24th. Just putting finishing touches on it and will wash, press and frame. Then on to the next baby sampler. Over half way finished with that one too, just a lot of detail. It's the Baby ABCs by Design Works. She will be here in late December or early January. Then I can start on the Afghan. Tried the crocheting of baby booties, definitely need practice, but they are soooo CUTE! Found that on YOUTUBE.

Hope all of you had a great weekend and took some time to spend with family!
