McCalls 7967

I've just boobed, I had this pattern saved, even though I have another pattern very similar that I've done and liked.  Anyway saw it around £2.09 subject to dollar exchange rate.  Bought, went to download and no AO size so I am stuck with A4.  I did say I would never go there, even worse than the Darkside for me.

I can see it never getting done although I do like the sleeves, I could use these.

Something 'dreadful' is not offering A0 prints.  It wants to modernise the market, but hasn't studied the best on the 'indie' scene.

[Gernella]

I've found a webpage last night that gives instructions for converting it to A0 @UttaRetch but lost the plot reading it other than you have to first convert to a jpg.  I'll have to go back later when my brains have sorted themselves out and perked up.

That boggles my mind too.

[Gernella]

Boggles mine as well.  I even let the website access Google documents to get to my PDF (as suggested), but it still wouldn't let me insert. So buttocks to it @UttaRetch .  Money wasted unless of course some who prints A0 can find a way to convert for you.

I am totally surprised that they (Something Delightful) don't do it, and I didn't find out until I'd paid my pennies.

These lumbering, corporate beasts are slow to learn.  By the time Something 'dreadful' catches up with A0 printing, projector files will be the big thing.

Oh - a New Year sale. Will just have a very, very little look.......

But I know what you mean about A4s @Gernella . I have patiently stuck a lot of pages together and had good success with A4 patterns but my printer is too old and creaky (much like its owner really) to manage a big print run- why I've just sent off to get some Style Arcs printed for me.

[Gernella]

Yes well mine is a bit iffy @Tannymore, some days it works fine and churns out, another time I'm having to faff having the back off.  I would replace, only for a laser colour printer they are a bit pricey now.  The printer cartridge company keep ringing me up for me to reorder but however cheap, if I buy to lay by, sods law it will die and I will be stuck with them.

I heave a sigh of relief when it prints instructions off for an Indie pattern, and make sure I only print what I need.
