Found the samething as MadHatter. The program seems to have an issue with .jpg. Covert them to .gif and it works.

Read my wife the joke before she left for work. She said " that is just like something you would say". So I said "well can I". I am having a hard time seeing out of me right eye. LMAO

Very good GrayBeard.
True Story: Years ago here in central Florida, a man applied for a Hadicap sticker allowing him to park in the Handicap parking spaces, using his dogs information and recieved one. It was on our local news. They had to change how they approved people for the Handicap stickers.

I have been experimenting with the program and found it does not like .jpg files.
Tried it several times with the same results. As I said earlier, I used Windows Explorer and went to C:\Program Files\Pattern Library. Deleted the first .bmp it made, or all .bmps. Then it worked perfect. Just stay away from .jpg files. Seems to only work with .pdf. Will try .gif and bmp next.

Well...I just checked it again and it seems to be ok.  Russ, for future reference...would I do the clear laquer after the lemon oil....skipping the Poly....-or-...do the poly only with no lemon oil??

You are lucky. Sometimes you have to strip off the poly. Never will dry. 

1. Apply lemon oil, let dry.
2. Make sure project is dry, wipe with paper towel.
3. Apply a good coat of clear lacquer. Let dry.
4. Now you can add Poly, more Lacquer or Varnish etc.

The lacquer is not affected by the lemon oil and seals it in.
I use spray lacquer for first coat on all my natural wood, lemon oil or stained projects.

That is the way I do it.

Soaked it in water! I have used that technique to bend wood hand rails for stair ways.
