Yeah, apparently the Credit card part is some kind of added security for the merchant. The frustrating part of this for me is that in my case, it's all the same. I have a debit/credit card that is attached to the same account that Paypal is. It's all about the method used to get to the same pile of money. *sigh*

Kate, you're a good person to offer to help like that. But I wouldn't want to be responsible for any distractions from your stash only stitching. Tell you what - I do the deed and the extra chart will be my gift to you. No guilt for either of us that way (and seriously, we're not talking about enough money to truly matter).

A bit later... ok, I did it, I used my credit card for immediate gratification and now, $11 later, I have a picture of the finished piece on PCStitch. Grrr. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm using the free software on a Macintosh. Ideas anyone? OK, I found the answer - just hit print. But I really dislike that I have to print the whole thing without knowing that I'm printing. I would like to be able to resize the pattern and put the symbols on the same page. I didn't need instructions for the nun's stitch. I can't say that I'm enjoying the patternsonline experience overall. Now I'm off to drown my annoyances in overdyed flosses.

Kate, do I have to print this to send it to you or can I send the electronic PVF file via email? I'm asking because there was some "configured for your computer" message thing.

Also, and I think this'll be the last question... if anyone is reading who has done this piece, where's the X (color #792) on the chart? I'm playing with colors but don't see the X symbol except on the key.

Gabi, I never entered my name anywhere. I don't know if the Mac version is different than the Windows version though. But the problem had nothing to do with my printer. I found in the Patternsonline FAQ that all I'm supposed to see is the picture of the completed project until I print it. When it prints, the graph comes out. As for the Patternsonline people being helpful, I did not find them so when I inquired about changing my order from Paypal to Visa. The response I got was neither helpful nor sympathetic but more along the lines of "it's not our problem."

Anyway, I started the border tonight so all's well that ends well.

Ah, I understand Gabi. Thanks for clarifying. I hope Galhenat gets it to work.

I'll try to send Kate the unopened file and if that doesn't work, I'll print it and send it to her. I got to thinking about the "agreement" with Patternsonline. That thing you clip and pasted above is the message I get AFTER they take my money and send me the pattern. I get it when I try to open the pattern. I have to wonder how legal that is as an agreement at that point. *shrug* I'll wait until my second payment goes through before I do anything else and then let my conscience be my guide. I see nothing wrong with spreading the Teresa love as long as Teresa gets her cut.
