Ever want to get a really close look at some of the detail work on the quilts that are posted but the pictures does not seem to provide that opportunity?

Many of you probably already know this...

Press the "Ctrl" key and at the same time use your scroll on the mouse. This will give you the ability to get a supper up close look at what ever it is you want to see up close. :)

Please don't do that to my quilts. I don't want anyone to take a close look at my stuff. :) :) :)

I find that when you zoom in many of the pics go fuzzy, and I end up seeing less!

I've never know that! I am so glad to learn something new. I just mentioned it to my DH sitting across the room and he gave me that 'Doesn't everyone know that already?' I'm happy to become better informed right here on this board. Thank you.

yes, I use the control and plus sign to make it bigger and minus to make it smaller

and also makes the typing bigger or smaller, easier to see
