Welcome Karen! Not a silly post at all. Good question.
The 25 pattern limit relates to how many unique designs you can choose, not how many actual print outs come out of your printer. So you can print out 3 copies of a pattern, and it only counts as 1 of the 25.
Once you print a certain design, it's locked in as one of your 25 choices, and the site remembers this, allowing you to go back and print more copies of that design if you want.
One of the reasons it's set up this way is because sometimes there are printer errors. And it would be frustrating for someone to waste one of their allowed prints because of a paper jam.
