Hello Ladies,

There has been some confusion as to the instructions downloaded.? The right handed instructions have a RH in the file title.? The lefthanded have a LH in the file title. ?
At the top of page 1 of the LH version it says "Left-handed Instruction for" -? Also in the footer it says LH - DayDreams.?

Ok ladies,? I have measure my pattern size both the one I have used in the past and the one I printed this morning on legal size paper (8.5" x 14" (21.5cm x 35.5cm)) the actual design size on both is? 12" x 7" (30.5cm x18cm).? The design size on the fabric is 12" x 6?" (30.5cm x 16.5cm).? The slightly smaller height could be due to shrinkage after washing.
This design will not fit on letter size paper as it is only 8.5" x 11" , the printer must shrink the pattern in order for it to print.
The design is place on the linen with the width (12" (30.5cm)) across the 22" (56cm) width of the linen as in diagram 1 on the hint pages.

Hope this helps to clear up any confusion.

Hi
I found when I copied on legal size it was exactly the same as regular, which is why I am asking Barbara for the actual size of the embroidery so I can adjust accordingly.  For some reason my printer did not default like Peggy’s did.  I will wait for Barbara’s answer before I transfer the design.

Hello everyone.? I hope this reaches everyone regarding the difference between the legal size paper for the drawing as opposed to the reg. size paper.? We have done a copy on reg. size paper and one on legal size.? The sizes of the motifs are larger on the legal size paper and therefore I'm sure will give one more room for? stitching when transferred to fabric.? Seems to me that the motifs from reg. size paper will make for some tight squashed-in stitching.? What do you think?...............Christine inParksville

HAPPY? YEAR 2019. Some of you I know, others I am glad to meet you and I am pleased to stitch with you all.

I?have read that some of you are worried about the size of your design. I found it a bit small as well so?I will?wait for the exact dimention?from Barbara. Meanwhile as I am known to be a rebel?I copied the design?on a word document and enlarged it as much as possible. I printed it setting my printer for the legal paper that I used but it?would fit on letter peper.?I just have to toutch up the lower lines a bit. If Barbara approve here is the?word large design.

Peggy, of course it's okay to post a comment like this. The whole point of the group is discussion and interaction, and not expecting poor Barbara to know absolutely everything.

Post away.

Re: Finished Size

I'm just wondering if different printers are interpreting the pdf's differently. When I printed the Drawings 2 file, the default paper size was Legal. The printed design is 12 1/2 inches across it's largest dimension. That makes sense to me in relation to the size of the fabric. But if it's correct and every printer was reading it that way, it would be coming out the same for everybody, and it's not. Now I'm questioning if mine's correct.

Also, just to clarify--the EAC registration page lists the design size as 11 by 19. That's the finished pillow size?

I hope it's okay to post a comment like this. It's my first cyber course. If Barbara's supposed to be the only one responding, I apologize.

Hello Barbara and Happy New year to you and to everyone! I’m so excited to start such a beautiful project. So far I haven’t received my kit hopefully tomorrow when I go to post office it will be there. For sure I’ll let you know when it arrives.?
Marina?

Re: Finished Size

Yes, please can we have the exact width and height of the design. I looks like I’m having problems with sizes in Turkey. Their legal size papers are different from Canadian and I’m not mentioning yet their clothing sizes ; )

Hi Barbara:
What is the actual size of the embroidery design?? Do we need to enlarge the design by 20% when printing?? The photo, when printed onto the 8.5 x 11" paper or the legal size paper looks smaller than your finished photo.

Re: Welcome

If you have the complete design printed on the letter size then ok. ? When I print? them I make sure that all the design is there and not squished or cut off.

Re: Design placement

#6

hello Heather,
When I first wrote this course I had the students divide the fabric in 3 sections and then during the class realized that what I had told was the equivalent of placing the design in the middle.? I had forgotten about it and obviously did not correct the original instructions.? So? please ignore the "beneath the middle section" and follow the hints document.
Hope this helps.
Barbara

I totally forgot to tell you guys that the first message each person sends to the group I have to approve. (I've never disapproved anybody's yet, incidentally.) That means if I'm not right on my email that your message may languish for a little while before it gets distributed to everybody. Sorry!

Hello Barbara,

I ran the course information off this morning including the design page on 8.5 x 11” paper. It fit just fine. Is there a reason for running it off on 8.5 x 14” paper.?

Re: Welcome

Thanks Barbara.

I do have one question. I thought that I understand how to lay out the pattern for the design transfer, Diagram 1 on page 2 was very clear. However when I read the directions for transfer on page 5 this line confused me:

Centre the design beneath the middle section of the fabric.

Based on diagram 1 it seems that the design should be centered both ways on the fabric, with the longer edge across the 22" width. I am not sure what you mean by "beneath the middle section".

Sorry to be a nuisance, but the last thing that I want to do is start off on the wrong foot with the transfer.

Thanks!

Heather
