Topic: Printing from phone (1/1) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Enjoy "Color My World" by Wendy Williams - This beautiful quilt is constructed of soft and textural shot cottons from Windham fabrics on a richly patterned background. It offers so many opportunities for personalization through both embellishment and quilting- you could add house numbers, decorations, people, pets, garden flowers- there are so many ways to make this quilt truly your own!

Let's use this Topic "Color My World Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful work. 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:

I’ve tried all suggestions to print an accurate 1” and am still unsuccessful. My square is about 1/16th of an inch short. If I’m careful to sew my seam allowance the same 1/16th short, will I be ok?

No, everything will be too small. Printing from a phone is not usually accurate. Same with tablets.

There are lots of posts here about printing problems. Someone found there is an Ipad app for HP printers that allows you to set the print size to Actual--the app is called HP Smart.

A workaround is to ask a friend to print your two pattern pages this month on a computer. Next month there is only 1 pattern page.

I printed the pattern today from my phone and it was slightly smaller than an inch. I went to my desktop and printed with no problem. Just make sure to double check. THANK YOU for this important reminder! iPad/tablets have the same issue. Be certain the 1” scale box is correct before beginning.
