I have been opening the patterns as PDF and then printing in poster. Then taping the pieces together. You mentioned guide marks. How do you get these? Is there a better way to use smaller paper to get the bigger prints? Is everyone using sprial blades when cutting these? Thanks Jim, I create the guide marks in Inkscape. Travis has a nice video on how to do this. I always print from Inkscape after changing the fill and stroke (cut areas and cut lines) of the pattern. Again, Travis has a video on how to do this. As far as using spiral blades, I had absolutely no experience with spirals until I cut the "Best Friends" girl and horse. With Jim Blume patterns, I would say it is a MUST to use spirals. Otherwise you would rub a hole in your table spinning the piece with all the cuts. If you haven't tried spirals, give them a try. I use Pegas spirals and usually 2/0 size. They are much easier to use than I anticipated. Jim Blume 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
