Whenever I had to enlarge a stencil that I have, I would scan and enlarge it on the computer then print it out. Then I would staple in corners over multi pieces of drafting tracing paper. Then you have created multiply copies of the pattern. Then I would carefully pin it in place where I wanted to stitch the design, rethread my Bernina and stitch the design using the dots created by stitching with out the thread.
