What happened when I printed it, it printed the full length and just over half of the width. I would trace the full half, turn it around and trace it again on the other side. So far it's worked fine for me.
This is also what I did. I just enlarged it and got what would fit within the narrowest margins on my printer. I draw a light set of center lines & match them up with the copy. pin down & trace away. Unpin, turn it around, re-pin & comlete the drawing. Works great & I don't need to go anywhere special.

I suppose you, Elle as a moderator, could add a "zero" to our thread & it would move to the top, but that's a little petty, isn't it?

I'm satisfied that we're #2, but if someone else gets up there, then go for it!!! :twisted:

I took mine to a copy store and made copies on legal size paper so I can get the full pattern...challenged as I am, didn't want to make it harder on myself by having only part of the design on paper, lol.

talk about seeing, LOl...I saw my eye doctor the other day after :oops: a couple years...and talked about my hand sewing/quilting etc. and how my dd laughs at me for wearing two pairs of glasses.
Well...he told me that I don't need to be doing that.
The problem is: I don't keep my glasses fitting right so everytime I look down, they slide and I am looking through the wrong part of the lense! oh my... :oops: :oops: :oops:

Leave it to me, to act like I've HAD the wine and seeing things all wonky...bc of my own silliness!
He said come by anytime, walk in, free of charge and ask to have my glasses adjusted.
I'm going to write it on the calendar to start doing that...bc it MIGHT IMPROVE MY QUILTING - LOL!!! :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :thumbup:

Quiltykitty,
Do you mean work them in as I am stitching them down? I *try* to do that..but some of them just don't like to cooperate. Do you have tricks you can share?

What if you made two sets, then turned one upside down and taped it to the other? That should work also.

I was able to use my copier at work and used 11x17 paper. I'm thinking someplace like Kinko's would have the copy machines you could use large format paper in.
