Q: Janis writes: "Sometimes I am able to view the tutorial and "do it" without printed instructions. However, there are times that I need to print for future reference. When I print, the information is only on the left side with the right side being blank, meaning I use twice as much paper as is needed. I have tried adjusting margins, etc. with no success. Is there something else I can do?"
A: It's possible that not everyone knows that we do have a "print" function on each tutorial! Here's what I found that works to maximize your paper space. Click to "Print the Tutorial" on the right side of any tutorial page. (You'll find the link under the photo/bio of the tutorial author.) If a print menu automatically comes up on your screen, cancel it. Select the tutorial content (Ctrl-A or click and drag) and paste it into a Word document. Under Layout, adjust the margins to .25" on each side, and change the columns to 2. Paste in the tutorial content, and delete any unnecessary headers or footers that may have come along.

Q: Maryann writes: " I don't have the SU cutter used in the Double Triangle Fold tutorial, so how can I do this? I love the card idea."
A: I don't have it either - no problem! I used an 18" ruler and drew a pencil line from corner to corner, then cut along the line with scissors. It worked perfectly!
