I think you have to enlarge the same percentage in both directions.

It looks like the original pattern uses 2.5 inch strips and 1.5 inch strips, so 2 inch and 1 inch finished. So each of the 4...

It's quilt tall already ... You might consider only adding to the sides, and leave the top and bottom as they are. You could do something that looks like seaweed growing, either by piecing something,...

I bought my longarm 9 years ago and never looked back. My main reason was ergonomic -- standing upright instead of sitting was much better for me. I was always hunched over when using my domestic...

Nice to hear I'm not the only one with this problem!

Not so good at truly accurate piecing.

I just finished a couple of quilts with straight line stitching, and used 11 stitches per inch. With more curvy designs, I'd go up to 13 maybe, but rarely go any higher. With micro-stippling, maybe...
