I’ve been working on a quilt that’s going to have 30 12” blocks, mostly paper pieced, & for the last block down on the right hand bottom I thought it’d be fun to put a paper pieced block of a modern sewing machine that looks kind of like my Bernina 440QE or similar. I don’t expect to find one for free. The ones I have found aren’t the right size or it was so long ago I don’t remember where I found them. Could any of you direct me to one? There’s only one I found on Craftsy but it was only 10” & $4.50, which I thought was a little pricey for just one paper pieced block. Thanks for your help in advance.

Since you are paper-piecing, you can resize the pattern by adjusting the image size when printing out or tracing the
pattern.

Have you tried Quilter's Cache? I have a PDF of a 12" "modern" looking machine, but it isn't PP, it was a free download, by Barbara Wellan Talbert(Fabric Shop Network), I looked for the link but couldn't find it.

Exactly what I was going to suggest ... just determine how big/small you want and use the % feature to alter the size. I do it all the time to change PP pattern sizing.

The other best suggestion ... ask Mr. Google ... he really does deliver!
I know there are many patterns for what you want out there,
but sorry, I don't have the links for you.

These are not 12" but maybe you could enlarge them:

Here's one I made a while ago. It's 12" x 16".

If you google 'sewing machine snapshots' you will get the PDF.

If you want to make it into a 12" square block, I would suggest
drawing your own on graph paper.

Lori Holt at www.beeinmybonnet.blogspot.com has a sewing machine block in her book Spelling Bee. You can make it in a 12" or a 6" block.

I have also seen a few sewing machine blocks in the Quiltmaker 100 Blocks magazines. They also made a book out of the first 10 issues. Blocks are 12" finished.

EasyPeezy that is very cute! Great job with fabric choices.

The link to her block is dead now. I actually saw yours online when I looked. Cool huh? But that’s what I’ve found with every one I’ve come across except one. It makes a 16” block though. Does anyone know the percentage I’d have to decrease it by for sure if I wanted it to become 12”? 75% right? I’ve also made up my own using EQ7 but am a little intimidated to try it. Thank you all for your help & lmk if you find any modern looking sewing machine pattern in the future. I’ll keep checking back.

Strange! my wording didn't come up.
I believe 75% would be good to reduce the one you have.
