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.

Thanks for all the other tips.
Cutebuns, that does make sense!

We are getting a new computer soon, so I hope it has a more user friendly program that will help.

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!!

don't forget to post a picture, you have us all curious. Why is it the simple ones can give us the most fits???

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.

I will definately post pics because I'll be so happy when this is together. I can't let myself post one, yet...
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.

Thank you, Carolyn. I'll keep that in mind for next time. Welcome to the Quilting Board!

Sorry I can't get my example to come up on the screen. I hope you understand.
How does everyone get their pictures to load?

I just downloaded it, and it opened for me. I just click "attach files" and select the file I want. Mine are always .jpeg files. Your file is a .pdf, so maybe that has something to do with it.
