I would like to know how to print the original pattern (in color) that you first see before printing out the pattern. I have tried all of my tricks, but nothing has worked. Thank you.
I'm not sure what you mean -- as color blocks or as virtual stitches? Either way, you can force the print to be as is and even export to a jpg when in a certain mode. You can print without the grid as well.
Just play with the print features and use preview until you get what you want.
