I found when I went to Laura Perin's freebies, that only the latest
freebie would print out when following the instructions on the site.
Maybe I missed the instructions for selecting just one pattern.
If you encounter the same problem, simply highlight the pattern you
want, ^C (control+C for copy), and paste it (^V - Control+V) into a
Word
document. You can then save and print it.
Good hint for people.
Looking at the instructions, I think I'm going to have to buy some of
the ribbon floss since I only have a couple of colours in my stash, and
they aren't the ones I want to use.

FWIW, there are a bunch of threads that will work in lieu of the 1/16"
ribbon floss. I'm in the midst of getting Yahoo to load the photos I
took
of 8 colorways, with a couple of sub-variations. Instead of ribbon
floss I
used either Petite Sparkle Rays, Fyrewerks (slightly bigger), Neon Rays,
and
1/16 Kreinik ribbon. Personally, I just don't like working with the
riboon
floss, and find the PSR nicer to work with.

Thanks, Ellice:
I suspect that is what I'll end up doing. I have lots of different
fibers to play with, so I'm sure I can come up with something that works.
MargW
You're welcome. I've no doubt you'll find something fun!
Also, I just uploaded into the files section a 2 page file of the various
colorways I pulled. Supposedly, Yahoo is sending a message to the group,
but who knows. I'm still having trouble uploading the photos.

I only saw one photo and when I tried to get the PDF file I got a message
saying it wasn't "Accessible."

I can view the photos, but the files come up as unaccessible.

I just found the same thing. I am leaning towards the "meadow" one with
the pinks and greens.
