    Exact size issue

    The images to be printed have a 1 inch square to be used as a check that your printed size is correct. Unfortunately, most printers do not permit borderless printing. If you are fortunate enough to have a printer capable of borderless printing, go to the print menu and select "more settings"... then scroll down to borderless settings and turn this 'on'. The image will now print with the 1 inch template square exactly 1 inch by 1 inch. (It took me a couple of hours this morning to figure this out!) If you do not have such a fancy printer, the image will be reduced in size to accommodate the typical 1/4 inch border...which means that the 1 inch square will be 1/6th inch too small. In this case, you need to expand the image by 106.3%.

    Thank you Rockley for pointing this out as I hadn't realized that my 1" square was very slightly off, not 1/16, more like 1/32. I had printed out all the vellum for Month 1 but didn't have time to work on it, so I'll print them out again. Thank you so much. Irene

      I have now printed the pattern off at the correct size.
