    Hi there. Just wondering if there is an option to remove the zig zag as the time it takes to make them is huge, especially with all the other things we have to do! It does look amazing with the zig zag, but its been over an hour of cutting out before even getting to laminating (perfectionist in me!). If there was an option without the zig zag, I definitely would recommend that as it would be a lot faster!

    These are really huge - only two contractions to a sheet of paper. It would be great if you could make it portrait and fit more on the page. Students at this level don't need massive font. Thanks, Su

      Hi Su, Thank you for your comment and your feedback. An easy fix I can suggest for this is to select multiple pages when printing. That way you can choose how many sheets you would like to print per page. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with. Kind regards Jill
