Fish Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I never realized it but you can resize a pattern in Gimp 2 to print it. I always had rapid resizer but don't have the money for it right now. I don't know if anyone else knew it but hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTCowpoke22 Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 It took me awhile to figure it out, but yeah, you can. Makes it great for when you're wanting to print on 11x18" paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmmcrafts Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 So how do you resize in gimp? is it quick and simple? I do a lot of resizing and I use a couple different methods depending on what I am working with.. 1) is I use posterazer.. free download.. you just put in your image and select boarders if needed.. you can resize by % and in inches mm etc.. then it saves it to a PDF file. 2) certain patterns I will resize by just right clicking the image file and click print. then it brings up options for the size and you can change the number of copies per sheet.. I typically do this for my Christmas ornaments and do them as a 4 x 6 then click 4 per full sheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crupiea Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I use excel.. open blank workbook. insert picture. drag to size you want. Switch to page layout view and you can see how many pages it will take and adjust accordingly. It will print across multiple pages just fine, just trim and tape together. Also works with the free version of excel or whatever it is called. Roberta Moreton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
