How can I easily reduce a pattern I bought...
My husband let me buy Judy Niemen's Mistletoe tree skirt pattern last Christmas and I want to make one at that size for my daughter, but want one only half that size or less for my little 2 ft tree we put up. Can I take it to Staple's and ask them to reduce it, or is that cheating? I don't want to cause any problems for anyone, but a 60" tree skirt would take up most of our living area & she didn't have a smaller one. How do I go about this?

I had the original pattern for a quilt and Office Max [now Staples] gladly reduced it for me. It was for my persona luse not for profit. I had to go to one of their business centers for the large copier.

I messaged them on their FB page. Haven't heard back yet. I'm not selling it. Just want the big one for my daughter and a reduced one for my little 2 ft. tree. Thank you all for your help!

Do you mean Judy Niemeyer? That quilt in a normal size is a decent challenge; have you thought about piecing such small triangles and spikes if you are able get it reduced?
What if, instead of reducing it, you just deleted some of the outer sections?
