Just wanted to add that if you do decide to reduce the prickings, it would be a kindness to include on each pattern a straight line that was, say 5 cm (2 inches) long when the pattern was full size. That will give the photocopy-enlargement-challenged some way to know whether or not the pattern came out the right size.
Thanks Adele; I meant to say that too, but my message got so long, I lost track of it myself <g> As a matter of fact, I'd appreciate a line reference (calibrated or not) even with full-sized patterns. I could measure that, and see how far off/on target the copied pattern is (or, even, the pattern in the book) and adjust accordingly (if by a hit-and-mis process). I never reduce/enlarge by measuring the *area* of the pricking; always by the *distance*, usually between the pinholes on the straight; I *can * figure things out if I know what the distance is, and what it's suposed to be...
