Lately I’ve had several questions about printing quilt patterns so I guess I need to explain the print button.
Suppose you want to print Step 1 of Road to Brownwood. This is the post if you click on it.
If you just print that page, you’re going to get ads and comments and everything else . . about 9 pages I hear! 🙂
At the bottom of every post there’s a line of little icons (I guess that’s what you call them.)
See those little half buttons just below the “You may also like – ” pictures? I’ve drawn a little red arrow to the print button. If you click that button, that particular post will pop up in a new window.
On the print friendly page, you see this. You can over around and delete content or pictures .. get rid of anything you don’t want to print. I deleted all the pictures and this is the page I ended up with for printing.
This makes it much, much easier to print!
Micki says
Great info! Thanks. Now I can go print some stuff- hopefully I’ll remember LOL
Krista says
Very cool! I did not know that.
Becky I. says
Thanks! I was having trouble with that too! DUH! Wouldn’t you know, common sense!
NancyB in AZ says
Well darn. I didn’t know that. Thank you very much. You, and your web genius really take good care of us.
Kim W says
Thank You for that tidbit of information. That will make printing things out much easier.
Linda (Petey) says
Thank you…great to know. I would never be brave enough to check those little pictures. Many things confuse me because I do not ‘read’ little pictures well. Why not just put the word? It’s frustrating.
Hilary McDaniel says
Thank you. I wondered how to avoid the ads.
CindyC says
How great! I never knew that. Thanks!
carolyn says

Missy says
Thank you! I have always just copied and pasted into Word, this is so much easier!
Kathy C says

Dana Pellerin says
thanks for sharing that hint of coping . I am not very computer savy and I need to learn all the correct ways to get what I want.. Thanks again for all your talent and helping to design CTS. I really enjoyed all the blocks. I am anxiously awaiting the final instructions to put it together.
Gari says
Thanks, I also did not know what the little buttons were for. I also love that you can choose what part of the page you want to print.
Marky says
Thanks! that was really helpful information. I’ve come a long way in using the computer but I still have much to learn. This is so much easier than copy and pasting into Word! Never noticed those buttons before. Can’t wait to give them a try!
Lee says
So glad I’m not too old to learn something new 😉
Thank you for teaching me!
Linda Enneking says
Thanks for this info. I would like to print the directions for Nicole’s Sofa Quilt. Will I have to print that out on twenty pages, since there were twenty blog posts, or is there a way to combine the posts?
Katherine says
I know what some of those other buttons are, but could you give a run down of them in order please? I would never have guessed that was a print button.
Liz N says
Thank you!!! I had resorted to writing!
Jacks says
