Thanks Yolanda!

I will try again.

If I can gather the patterns, I would be happy to learn them and teach them.

Dixie, it is a pdf image file. I ran ocr on it and the output was unuseable. Guess AIRA would need to be used from a windows machine.But, to get to the pdf press enter on the button for which you want the pattern. Then right before their bottom fotter information starts, there is a link with a bunch of letters and numbers. Press enter on that link and you are gifted with an unuseable pdf.
