  1. I love this issue. I bought the digital version specifically to try my hand at the Cozy Slippers. The problem is that the template pieces are missing from the file. I have the tutorial portion from the back of the magazine, but not the actual pattern pieces. I thought they were all available for download, but I don’t see the slipper download on the Interweave site. What am I missing? Any help you can provide would be hugely appreciated.

  2. Mamazilla,
    I checked the file and did a few test runs and didn’t have any difficulty with the file when I printed it. I’d like to help you get set up correctly–if you’d like to email me directly, I’ll be happy to see what I can do. Sorry for the frustration…

  3. i’ve tried a few times to print the ruffle front maxi dress and it’s not printing correctly. two pages are printing at one time on one pages. please review the PDF? thanks!
