Freeware for printing large patterns

[cskipper]

Here is a link to a freeware application for printing large patterns on regular sizse paper and piecing it together. That's great for those of us who don't have the PHP type programs. I tried it and it's slick.

Ok so I've been playing with this program for a little while. And was wondering if anyone has figured this out yet.....:eusa_thin If I need a pattern a specific size (e.g. H15" x W10") the program will make it much bigger than that or a few inches smaller, so for patterns with no size restrictions it works great! but other than that its back to the Kinkos!:cry_smile If someone does figure out how to print a specific size let me know plz!!!:icon_thum

Jonathan,

Probably Kinko's is your best bet. The freeware program is good, but it is what it is -- freeware. It is a great tool, but it is not commercial software with all the bells and whistles.

If you want to spend the time, effort, and paper, you might try varying the original picture size with one of the many image processing packages to get the output to be the size you want.

Sorry I'm not more helpful, but I'm a brute force kind of person. If the peg doesn't fit, get a bigger hammer. :mrgreen:

Good luck,
RayH

Could you size your pattern in a program like paint and use this to print it?
