How to print pattern large enough to read. Blocks are too small in printed pattern? |
| A: |
|
- Click Print Setup button on
Finish screen - it allows to choose multiple pages to print graph over - from one page to 10x10 page. The more pages you select, the bigger size of single stitch you will get. You can try to select different settings, and you will see on the dialog the approximate size of stitch block (single stitch) in centimeters or inches. Once you are satisfied, click OK and go to Print.
