What the best way to enlarge the patterns in the books?

Do you pull the page out? What type of place would I have enlarge it?


I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by. ~anon

Hi Sherry. You certainly don't have to pull the page out of your book to make an enlargement of the pattern! Just take the book to a copy shop (like Kinkos), make a simple 100% copy of the book on the self-service machine (even though we tell you to enlarge the pattern right on the page, thereby giving permission to do so, we've had people say that the copy shop won't do that, so that's why you're making a simple copy of it first), then take your copy to the technician at the shop and ask them to enlarge it the amount specified on the pattern (for example, 400%).

Thanks!
Carol

I've done mine at Staples for about $4 and not had a problem with the technician not doing it. I think the machine I usually have it done on is a self service machine but it's a little too advanced for me...lol
