Hi, Debra, Do you read fillet crochet charts with the optacon? I have looked at the charts, but could not figure out how to interpret them. If you don't mind, would you please e-mail me off list and give me some pointers? These charts are an excellent example of something a scanner and OCR software can't manage.
