Pattern too big

Post by rcj176 »

The pattern is too big. So I thought about it and looked for a solution. I scanned the pattern just the page I am working on. And cut the section that I will be doing today and am going to tape it to my stand...that way I don't have to keep stopping to grab the pattern and look where I am.
I know they have clip things you can get to attach to the stand but this will be easier for me.

I just had the opposite problem, the pattern was too small. But I have no scanner, and no access to a photocopier (at least I didn't want to go out to one of those places...).
So I took a photo, enlarged it and printed it. Worked a treat! :)
