I contacted Lovingnana after seeing her post about her problem with printing the patterns out the correct size, and researched what could be causing the problem. Depending on what you use to read your PDF files and how up to date the program may be, it can make a difference in printing. Please make sure that when you go to print out the patterns these items are checked on your print screen. 1. Under Print Range have ALL checked. 2. Under Page Handling – have NONE checked. 3. Have Auto Rotate and Center checked. To double check to see if it’s printed out the right size the small pattern already enlarged to the 150% should measure like this. With your measuring tape measure: width across the top of the pattern – 4 1/8”. Down left side of pattern length wise should measure: 4 5/8”. Across the bottom of the pattern it should measure: 5 2/8” + a tad more. The larger pattern enlarged 175% should measure like this with your measuring tape: width across the top of the pattern –4 6/8” width wise. Down left side of pattern length wise it should measure: 5 3/8 + a tad more. Across the bottom of the pattern it should measure: 6” +, to almost 6 1/8”.
If it doesn’t measure out right then, go back to the print page and do the 3 steps above again, and this time check the: Choose Paper Source by PDF page size. Don’t click this the first time as on my Adobe Reader it prints out perfect just doing the first three steps. Depending on what you have to read your PDF files, this last step can make a difference as it did for Lovingnana. Make sure to measure your patterns after printing to know for sure the pattern size is correct. If they print out correct, just cut them out and your ready to use them to make your pillowcase dresses. If you have any problems, just email me and we’ll work it out! ![]()
