I am creating a pattern for my daughter,when I printed the pattern it is very small, blurry and hard to read. How do I make it bigger? I also wanted to change it to just 3 thread colors but it as many different colors, I have been unable to change. Any guidance will be appreciated.

Thanks :)

Remember to use PCStitch printing, not export to JPG and printing that. The beauty of PCStitch printing is you can zoom as much as you want and the symbols won't blur. When you print, you can specify the number of stitches/inch to print. It may force multiple pages but that's fine. You can have an "overlap" to help you transition from one page to another.

As for changing colors, that's easy. For the entire pattern, just drag one color over the other color. I never remember if it's the "keep" color over the "remove color" or the other way around. I don't do it much. You can try one way and if it's not right, use "undo" and try it the other way.

You can later tell PCStitch to remove all unused colors.

You also have the ability to manually change colors in a pattern by just selecting a color and then over-writing (clicking on an existing stitch) with the new color.

Good Luck,

Diane
