Technical Question
 
I am using a new computer and now my view of this page is smaller than before; it has a gray border on both sides. Does anyone know how to expand the message board so that I don't have this border and my view of the pictures is larger? Any help is appreciated:-)

On my computer's can go to the settings (on the upper right corner of my web page) and change the view from 100% to larger so that it fits my screen. yours might be set to a smaller view.

You can make your print bigger, but the gray will most likely stay unless you pull it in from both sides

On some computer's, you can just hold the Ctrl key down and roll the scroll button on the mouse and the size will increase or decrease depending on which way you scroll.

Just push the F11 key. That should give you a full screen.

I wish I had you ladies here to show me some tricks with my Designer I and embroidery.....I am lucky enough to have a geeky daughter who helps me out with all the stuff I can't do on my computer, but she draws the line at helping me with my sewing machine problems.....oh well. You all sound so smart, and I can't believe you can put into words all the help you give each other.

Hold the control button and hit the plus button until you get it the size that you want.

Well then I got it so big I couldn't read it except to scroll over but hubby came to rescue me as I want to keep reading.
Have it set at 125% fine for me anyway .
