SPIRAL LOG CABIN PATTERN - Instructions for use: If you own a Mac, you can simply drag the image from your browser to the desktop to save it. If you're a Windows user, save the pattern to your hard drive by right-clicking on the image. In Internet Explorer, a menu will pop up with an option to " Save Picture As..." . In Netscape, it will be " Save Image As..." . When you select this option, a dialog box will pop up, allowing you to choose where to save the image. I usually save it on my Desktop, as it makes it easy to find it later. Click here for more detailed instructions on saving images from the Internet. Once you've saved the image, you can open it in any image editing program and print from there. We don't recommend printing directly from your browser -- chances are the size will be wrong if you do. If you're a Windows user, and you don't already own a good image editing program, we highly recommend downloading a copy of Irfanview (see our " Tools" page for a link). It's a great little program, it's free, and it will allow you to print images any size you like. If you're a Mac user, double-clicking the image will most likely open it in Quicktime Picture Viewer if you're running the Classic OS, or Preview if you're running OS X. If you need to edit the image before printing, try iPhoto or Graphic Converter (also linked on our " Tools" page). The block above was designed to be exactly 6" , with a 1/4" seam allowance, so the total printed size should be 6.5" x 6.5" (cut the printed pattern on the OUTSIDE of the dotted line for a 1/4" seam allowance). Of course, you can reduce or enlarge that if you wish - just remember to adjust the seam allowance back to 1/4" if you change the dimensions. Please note: To avoid costly mistakes, we recommend that you make a test block for any new pattern before cutting fabric for the entire piece. |
