Oh wow! I have that one too, and Mello Meadow. I had both of them enlarged so they will go onto a large pieced background done in browns and tans (all batik). It needs to be at least queen size and the larger pieces make it easier to satin stitch. Have fun and keep us posted on yours!!
I have no Idea what I am doing but thanks to your tutorial I can half way make some sence of it.How do you enlarge this I would love to do this . I fell in love at first site and didn't pay attention to how big it was and then was disapointed with the size.
I have a feeling I am going to be addicted to these.lol
Also, I don't know if my machine will do the satin sticth or not so do you have to do this?How do you enlarge this I would love to do this .
If you don't need it to be too big you can do it at a copy center yourself on the largest paper they have in the copiers. Do a section at a time and tape together when printed. I have a printing company near me that has the 36 inch wide copiers for blueprints. They will enlarge a single pattern for me for my own personal use. Staples had a hissy fit when I asked them for a single enlargement. The satin stitch is just a zigzag closed up tight. So your stitch length is very close to zero, as long as it feeds the fabric through you should be ok. Hope this helps.
