Here is a question. I do not have an embroidery machine so what I want to do is piece the center block. BUT - most blocks are not 9.5" - they are usually 12.5"!!! I have been trying to figure out how to scale up the strips - has anyone done this type of conversion? I THINK becasue the original strips are 9.5: plus the 2" strip along the top that if you have a 12.5 block, then the strip would be 12.5 plus a 2" strip - but when I tried it, it cam out funny. What did I do wrong?
