Zora Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Somewhere, I saw a chart or wheel type gadget that tells you how much to increase a design by in order to have it come out the size you want. For example, if your motif is 3 inches, and you need to increase it to 8 inches...it tells you what percentage you need to use when you photo-copy it in order to achieve that result. Anyway...now I don't know where I saw it, and it would certainly make life easier on an upcoming project. Does anybody have one, know where I can get one, or know what it would be called so I can do a search for one??? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micajah Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hi it's called a propertional scale and you get it in the drafting supplies in the office supply store or I have seen it at Michael's in the drafting supplies too.

You just plug in the numbers in and it resizes it for you. http://scriptygoddess.com/resources/proportioncalc.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
