Topic: Exact size issue (1/1) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month creative journey with Becky Goldsmith as we bring you "Sizzle," a stunning quilt designed especially for TQS.

Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. Becky has also created a selection of "how-to" videos to guide you along the way.

Let's use this Topic "Sizzle Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful Sizzle Blocks. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.
The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.
AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:

irenefrie OFFLINE Posts: 34 Thank you received: 2	Thank you Rockley for pointing this out as I hadn't realized that my 1" square was very slightly off, not 1/16, more like 1/32. I had printed out all the vellum for Month 1 but didn't have time to work on it, so I'll print them out again. Thank you so much. Irene

The images to be printed have a 1 inch square to be used as a check that your printed size is correct. Unfortunately, most printers do not permit borderless printing. If you are fortunate enough to have a printer capable of borderless printing, go to the print menu and select "more settings"... then scroll down to borderless settings and turn this 'on'. The image will now print with the 1 inch template square exactly 1 inch by 1 inch. (It took me a couple of hours this morning to figure this out!) If you do not have such a fancy printer, the image will be reduced in size to accommodate the typical 1/4 inch border...which means that the 1 inch square will be 1/6th inch too small. In this case, you need to expand the image by 106.3%.
