When I enlarge the scale to measure an inch, which was about 260% in my printer, it seems as though the scale starts to slip off around the 3 inch mark, so by the beginning of inch 4 it is off by almost 1/16 inch and by about the 12 inch mark it is off by almost 1/4 inch. However, when I measure the inches individually (ex. 1-2 2-3 3-4, etc), they are correct. Any idea what is going on here?tristagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08395725076529278068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-6975230230709453992011-12-29T08:42:37.068-08:002011-12-29T08:42:37.068-08:00That is a clever technique Ico-Anubis!

I see the Edwardian pattern uses 12 of these. I may buy a continous role of wire but just good to know the exact requirements, and I assume the same length will be used in both styles?<br />Thanks!Angela Stringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10170391166702331263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-58053828486086634682011-12-28T08:49:34.309-08:002011-12-28T08:49:34.309-08:00Thank you Jo for me elucidate the question.Thank you Jo for me elucidate the question.arteirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148130569231971937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-24342231201340307862011-12-27T10:24:58.067-08:002011-12-27T10:24:58.067-08:00The method for pattern alterations on computer tha...The method for pattern alterations on computer that works the best for me is using Inkscape or Illustrator.
