I love the gingham flower cross-stitch patterns and would love to print them out. However, when I download and go into print preview to make sure they fit an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper, the pictures are huge and only a portion fits the paper the rest is gone! Wish they were available in a .pdf format.
Thanks again for the wonderful patterns, will just wait until something I can print comes along.
Hi Terri, somehow I missed responding to you, I’m sorry! When I convert the patterns to a pdf, the size prints off differently than the original for some reason. I provide them in the jpg format because they print off true to size.
I’d love to make these into pdfs though, so when I figure out how to do that and keep the sizing preserved, you bet I’ll provide them here!
In the meantime, go ahead and select “fit to page” if you like. The sizing will be a bit off from the original, but at least you will have the pattern to use.
I suggest you go to Print preview and then shrink to 30% this worked for me. They fit on 8 x 11 paper just fine!
