Has someone used this type of projector to enlarge patterns ?- Or is it worth it?
http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/p...PRODID=prd2191 Would like to enlarge patterns without having to go to a print shop to do so Thanks for any info you can give me |
Yes, I have one and love it. I also use mine to make barn quilts. I trace the pattern onto primed wood and then paint them. Its a good tracer and if you have an AC Moore, you can get a 50% coupon.

I have it and use mine to make church banners. It works great. I took a week long class fromn Kathy McNeil and made some wonderful things.

I have it I like it!

No but I have used an overhead projector.

It would be great for enlarging applique designs :D:D:D
Don't know about it for blocks, as the image has to be smaller than 5" X 5" unless you do it in sections. |
I have enlarged patterns with scanner on printer . Just a thought. But it worked great for me .I had a picture of my daughter and I needed 12 inch block .so enlarged photo and cut it out with plastic template material added 1/4 inch
when tracing around pattern and pieced block .It worked great. I have never used a projector but my daughter has on many paintings and it worked very well |

I have never used a projector but my daughter has on many paintings and it worked very well Took them to my bank to have them enlarged - but only after waited at Staples for over 1/2 hr while they were waiting on other people. Will be probably adding the trace projector to Santa's list - maybe by that time I will have destashed my quilt books and have a more organized "soon to be " sewing room I appreciate all you info |
