When enlarging, I don't enlarge it in the program, when the print info comes up it says to print at 100%, you can change that to anything that you want pretty much, and it will just print it out that much bigger.

justwannaquilt, When we go to town, there's a hospital, a CVS, some restaurants, and dollar stores! We pretty much live in the woods. The road to our house is a narrow black top (it turns to gravel a few miles down the road past our house) with no lines, yellow or white. We live on a sheep farm. They belong to MIL and GMIL. We have a miniature horse. My SIL/neighbor has goats. We grow a garden.
Sounds like in the middle is a great place for you to raise children!!

That is large compared to the city that I live by, I live 3 miles out on a dirt road, there is a corner store, a car delership, two liquor stores, a bar, a small hotel, a hairdressers, a icecream shake and the gas station is out by the hwy, not in town.
Different people do things differently, I have also used copiers but if I am at home, it works out, there is usually a guide some where on the paper to let you know if it is the correct size

Hi,
Perhaps I can help you with your enlargement issues. I've never posted anything so I hope I can show you what I mean.
Remember that a copy enlarges both directions. If your image is 25% of what you want to end up with, a 200% enlargement will get you where you want to go. For example, a 2"x2" image is 4 sq inches. When you enlarge it 200%, it becomes a 4"x4" image (16 square inches). The original 2x2 is 1/4 of the new image.
I know it doesn't seem to make sense, so I am going to try to attach an example.
Good quilting.

Oh, I don't know. I think I could've taken an advanced pattern and sailed through it! LOL! We'll see because I have a harder one planned.
