Many thanks for all your help in resizing the pricking for the Binche workshop at Sweet Briar. Didn't get around to it until today because Friday was our anniversary and Saturday the Enchanted Lacemakers demonstrated at the New Mexico Arts and Crafts Fair (around 200 juried artists, a major summer event here at the state fairgrounds). Took both tatting and bobbins to demonstrate the differences and started Lace for a Cure.
Finally sat down today to play with scanner and was happy to find that HP Precision Scan importing to a Word document seems to do the right thing. I printed the pricking from the CD Michael Giusiana provided for us for the workshop at 100% (couldn't find a way to resize it in printing from the .pdf on that machine), then HP Precision Scan scanned it into Word, then asked Word to resize to 135%. At first measure with a clear quilting ruler, the original and copy were the same size and the 135% length was 1.35 times the original length. Will check with husband's ruler marked to 100ths of an inch later. Moved to the laptop in the living room to write this note and tried to print from the more recent copy of Adobe Reader on this machine. Was able to find the advanced setting to print at 135% and compared that with the scanned 135% copy and the scanned one was less than a pinhole different in length over 7.5 inches. Not too bad! I'm looking forward to using this new knowledge again!
