Ok, here it is. Don't look too close. I really worked quickly on this.
Remember to increase the block from the 8" to 12 1/2" unfinished. You will need to adjust your printer or computer to make up the difference. http://www.quilterscache.com/D/DogtoothVioletBlock.html Have fun! Quilters Cache - Dogtooth Violet [ATTACH=CONFIG]116918[/ATTACH] |

Thanks. Some of the points are off and even after increasing the print size, measuring, and re-measuring, the block is too small. So, back to the drawing board.
I guess the easiest thing to do, is print out the pattern at actual size. Then place on your scanner and find your Enlarge button. On mine, when I find <100%>, I hit OK and then use the less than < button to decrease or the greater than > button to increase your size by about 30%. Print, cut out, place together, measure. If not correct, start over going up or downwith your <> buttons. It isn't as bad or hard as it sounds. Just don't forget to add you 1/4" seam allowances. |
OK I'm going to try this thanks for your response I'm not too computer savy but am learning and can sure use info shared by people like you, many thanks!

Your welcome. Here is anothert way to do it. I know some will not take teh time to do all of this, that they wanted a 12 1/2" block from the beginning. Their choice.
Ok, here goes: Click on Template A Left click on File Go to Print Preview On that ribbon, go to the box that says "Shrink to fit" Click on the down arrow Scroll to Custom, click Type in 130% as your starting point, hit Enter Place your cursor on the Printer on the same ribbon Left click Printer box comes up. Be sure you only print one for now. Repeat steps for Template B. Cut out templates, match up 1/4" seams, and measure. Should be somewhere in the vicinity of 12 1/2" unfinished. If not, adjust the percentage either up or down by only a few % to get the size you want. Once you get the hang of this, it only takes a few moments. Most will find this method aggravating. Be patient, it is worth it. This is how I take templates and increase/decrease, all the time. You will notice that some of the template is cutoff. Don't panic. Study it and decide how to best copy what you need. Really not that hard. I am on my way to school and will be home later this eve. If you have any questions, let me know. Don't make it harder than it is. |
PS - To my SQA
I hope you recognize these three fabrics. They are ones you sent awhile back. I am thinking of re-doing all the blocks in the fabrics you sent. What a lovely rememberance of our year together. Still thinking about it tho. So many patterns, so little time. :) |
