I hope that may be helpful to someone.

That was exactly the problem with mine....when I hit print, it said something about shrinking to size. When I changed the page scaling to 'none,' it was perfect! Thanks!

Ronda, don't worry. I made it work, changed some printer settings and it's 6" now. Non scaling was on but I used 'page settings from PDF file' as well and now it's working just fine.
I love cats and always wanted to make one (or more) but never did so now I'm finally making cats Thanks for this lovely block!

Yay!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! I finally got it to print at 6". I didn't realize there was a "none" on the scaling. I so wanted to make this cat block. Now I bet I won't be able to get a pic to load.lol

DD.........you did it, good for you!! Now you can make your Heart Cat block for February. We are so proud of you. Don't worry about posting a picture just yet, as I know that we can help you through that too. Have fun sewing.

So glad you like it! Will be looking to see it on the other thread!
