Try this
To enlarge: Size you want = 12" and Current size = 4" 12/4=3 (answer times 100 = 300%) To reduce: Size you want = 7" and Current size = 12" 7/12=.58 (answer times 100 = 58%) |

Gee, Another one to tackle, now I guess I will have to purchase the first 50 blocks. What a great website you linked us to MTS!!!!:)

I'd take the pattern to a copy place since there's a big difference in the enlargement. If its an easy pattern and you just need to enlarge it a little you can use graph paprer.

Copy shop will have the percentages.

Make two at 90* difference, and compare the measurements by putting one over the top of the other, taping them to a window, and seeing if they match. If they don't ( worst case ) put on another piece of paper and draw the lines that fit the 12.5 block. It sounds much harder than it really is. |
SO...SO...SO...SO...INTERESTING !! Thanks for this.
