QUOTE=deemail;4711892]the dvd is probably to blame but you have an option.... go to any 1" square piece or draw a 1" square (whatever is available to you on the disc)... now print and measure EXACTLY..... if it is just an 1/8 off...then print again but...choose CTRL P or your print button and look for the area where it asks about size.... you are just going to bump it up a tiny bit at a time till you get the EXACT 1".... 1/8 = .125 so I would start with 1.125 % in the box provided.... is that right? fine.... too big?... back up to 1.1.... still too big? 1.05.... too small? go to 1.2... or 1.15... anyway, as soon as you play with the number and find the exact number to make that 1" square, use that same number for the entire pattern and it will all match and will be the size you want.

ps...i would NOT trust that number for every pattern on the disk...if they were wrong about one, they might be wrong again... but try...it might hold true for the whole thing....[/QUOTE]

I guess that would apply to quilterscache paper-piece patterns too, hey? I printed a pattern the other day and found it was slightly off that 1" square and put it away. Why didn't I think of this? Thanks for your tip.
