Enlarging a quilting design
#1
I have always purchased stencils that fit the block I'm working on but this time I have 12" blocks that I want to fill them with a feathered quilting design. I have only found 10" stencils and it looks to small. Do any of you enlarge them your self or take it to a copy center and have them do it. I have my hand quilting frame loaded with a finished appiqued quilt top and anxious to get started.

Enlarge it 20% and copy off onto thicker cardstock type paper. Copy paper will work in a pinch--it just won't last as long. You'll probably have to take it to a copy shop to print it out unless your printer will take ledger/tabloid size paper.
Then use an exacto knife or sew with un-threaded needle to make your holes for the chalk or marking pen. You've just created your own 12" stencil!
