Can't get the patterns to print right!

[GaryPlaysWithDolls]

Can't seem to get the costume patterns to print right. They seem to be printing just a bit small. Help!

Are you talking about the patters in the custom section here at the museum?

If so, I have the same problem. I have been opening the file in Word and enlaring the pattern until it is the right size. (For me, I set my Word at 105% so that it is 'actual size') I will put a ruler on my moniter to check it, then save the word doc and print it out. A bit of a pain, but it is the only thing that has worked for me so far.

Thanks for the advice! Yeah, i was trying to print the female pattern from the custom section here at the museum. I had it before (and I think it was right), but I lost it.

I saved it to my computer and then printed it out from the computer and it seems to be the right size.

Thanks again.

I suppose that it depends on what programs you are using to view and print pictures. On my computer when I press the print button I have the printing options of scale, DPI, Best fit to page or custom size. Usually when something is already in scale such as the pictures of the patterns I just select scale and it prints for me in the perfect size. I hope this helps.

I've had that problem, and here's what I do. Since the patterns mostly have a ruler on them for scale, I bring them into MS Power Point as a jpeg. It has a 1inch grid on it, so I just drag the pattern out until the scale on the pattern matches the scale on the grid. Print.
