Cross Stitch Cafe - stitching out of 2012 and into 2013...

subtle_minx

Morning everyone, shortly off to celebrate my Dad's Birthday so not much stitching planned. Did however try to print off the pdf file i recently received from 123 stitch but it came out barely legible, the symbols are tiny. Does anyone know the best way (if even possible?) to enlarge the symbols if required and print across multiple pages? I prefer to mark off the copy as I go along and have noticed when trying to use a pc/tablet that marking off is not an option. and I then get very confused. Any tips would be appreciated.

Cheers Chicky for reminding about the copyright, especially for any new members who might not be aware of our feelings on the cafe.

Received my sub copy of CSC so will hopefully read it tomorrow the freebie guide looks really useful and looking forward to stitching the bookmark kit. It's very similar to the first kit I ever stitched so will be interesting to compare and see improvement on quality of stitching... there will be improvement, lol

Anyway Enjoy your stitchy day everyone and keep warm!

In my epson printer properties i can enlarge the size of the document, maybe something similar in your printer properties??

Afternoon Ladies
Sorry I have been AWOL for a few days, I endever to improve my attendance!

FOS- Thank you for the warm welcome back

Very little in the way of stitching going on here, some due to pain (on the up side I have finally been referred for physio so hopefully that will help) and some due to procrastination.
I am still working on the Dictionary of bras, and have very nearly completed one bra. But in an attempt to neaten up the back I managed to cut through the wrong thread and have unraveld a whole row of stitches - DOH!
Thats what you get for sewing late at night!
I shall pop some pictures up later, as the ones I took a few days ago were not great.

subtle-minx - you should be able to adjust size of printing when you go to print. Click on Properties and there should be an option to change the size in there. hth.

Right I have missed a whole 6 days of stitching loveliness by you lovely ladies, so I shall head off for a read!
AMxxx

I tried and nothing in my print properties seemed to do it

Also should mention I'm using foxit pdf reader if that makes a diff.

Thanks for suggestions.

Chicky - my last post crossed with yours.

Just to confirm my comment re the twins chart for Brednall was to send her the chart from the magazine, its the original chart, not a copy, I'm not going to make a copy nor have i stitched it myself as I have no twins in the family and I'm not asking for any money. Believe this is ok.

If anyone thinks this breaches copyright can they let me know so that I don't do it again.

Thanks

I think you're ok Ailsb cos it's the original chart, so you shouldn't worry x


nmm - great progress - are the eyes on this row of pages?:rotfl:

Hmm, hard to tell when they are all just symbols, so i'll go with possibly :rotfl:

Edit: Looking at page 8 it includes the top corner of the black rock so fingers crossed
