    I tried to open the Santa Star 1.0 quilt pattern. It kept telling me that I had to become a platinum or gold member. I am a platinum member. What's the deal?

    Love these patterns. Have only been quilting 9 years. Don't have a lot of patterns yet I've done mostly baby and lap quilts. Anxious for something new.
