Have you ever wanted to paint a pattern on a surface that wasn't the same size as the line drawing?

You have a few options... you can take the pattern to a Kinko's and get it resized to fit your surface (which is great if there is one near)... but for those of us who don't have that option, we are stuck resizing the pattern ourselves. Sometimes it's tricky!!

But now, we have this awesome new tool that calculates enlargements and reductions of just about anything from photos to quilts. It provides the number of times reduction as well as the percentage of enlargement or reduction. Fractions below an inch are printed in blue to make them more visible!

This tool makes it incredibly easy to resize our floorcloth patterns to the anyway tray! (or vice versa) See how in the video below! (or read the instructions after the video)

To see a close up of the dial, click the picture above and then view the second image on the window that pops up.

Dial is 6". (This is the largest visible size we could get!) 

STEP 1:
•Measure the dimension of the item you want to enlarge/reduce (in this example, a length of 6”).
•Find that measurement on the inner dial.

STEP 2:
•Find your desired size on the outer dial and match it with your original measurement on the inner dial (in this example, we enlarge from 6” to 10”).

STEP 3:
•Check the window on the inner dial. The top set of numbers show you the percentage you will use to enlarge or reduce the dimensions for your project (in this example, about 170%).
