    When you printed out the pattern , did you measure the ruler on the pattern to make sure the size it printed out was the correct size?
    The first time i did the printer made it smaller. I had to set the printer at over 100%.

      How much over 100%? I've tried printing them to the correct size and it takes a lot of futzing to do so.

        It's been awhile , i don't remember the actual % but it was around 115% thereabouts.
        I just kept a ruler right there and after each copy measured to see if they matched.

          Hmmmm....

          Depending on what image editing software you're using, you should be able to bring up a ruler. Try doing a print preview, and see if there's a ruler, or ruler option. It'll show you how big the final item will be when printed; real-world measure.
