Thanks ladies.

I don't think the proportional scale will work as the patterns are printing only about an eighth or so short on the 1" test square.

My printer is set to "none" for the scale. I think I just need to play with increasing the percentage until I get it right.

Have you tried holding down your control key and tapping the plus key on your key board the same time before you print.

I've discovered that if I print directly from the website, it prints at the wrong size. I usually have to download and save it to my computer, then open the pattern and print. This happens to me with multiple websites, not just Quilter's Cache.

Peckish on Quilters Cache I'm just getting the option to save the pattern to my "pictures" file which leaves me with the same sizing issues. How are you downloading it?

Thank you so much for this information. I will put shopping at our office supply store for that tool. I can say, honestly, it is one tool I do not have. lol

For those who might be interested buying the Proportional Scale tool, I went to Office Max/Depot, a sewing store as well as a crafts store today. Office Max/Depot knew what I was describing because of their printing section but didn't sell them, the sewing store (not JAF) and the crafts store didn't know what they were, so I turned to good 'ol Amazon. What I found is the Golden Threads Proportional Scale Quilters Assist. I ordered one from one of the vendors listed for $4.59 plus $4.99 shipping. While it may not help with Quilters Cache scaling, I wanted one because I have seen quilt blocks I would like to do, but I wanted to change the size.
