    Default Paper Piecing Info Needed


    Is there a place where you can buy full size (or many sizes in one) quilt blocks that can be mailed to you?

    All I can find on my searches is download pdf files. That's fine, but I don't know how to set up my printer to get the right size, hence, wanting to buy them already printed.

    If this makes sense to anyone, I'd sure like some advice. TIA

    Cindi Edgerton has an amazing variety of patterns. I have made many of them from a 6 inch square feathered star to one of her biggest advanced sampler (which is not sold anymore). Her patterns are printed on pattern tissue just like that used my McCalls and Simplicity patterns. Very strong and easy to see thru.

    I look for them on ebay on sale too. She is online and at almost all major shows.

    To print pdf files to right size select no scaling in the size box. That's all you have to do for pdf patterns.

    Take your pattern to a copy shop like Staples, Office Depot etc. The charge is minimal

    Many patterns come with the printed papers. I prefer these to printing my own. Judy Niemeyer, for instance, includes the papers with her patterns.

    Thank you for the links.

    Bella, I'll try that on one and see if it works. Tks.

    auntpiggy, that's a great idea. I've read that here before and forgotten about it. 'Preciate it.

    Judy Niemeyer is out of my league for now, lol, but thanks anyway, Linda.
