Put the pattern on a light box or on your window and trace it on the back ... then you'll have the reverse of what the original is.

I was thinking the same question that lakeeriequilter has. In my case this answer is a slap on the forehead type of moment and then why did I not think of this. Thanks for the help for me QuiltfE :-)

just flip it--so the right side is DOWN

some photocopy machines and printers have a setting for that which makes it really easy. You can also enlarge it at the same time if you want or make multiple copies really easily.
