šØ PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS
Formatted for US Letter printers.
If using A4 paper, set the scale to 97.7 % for accurate sizing.
NEW for this winter collection:
For the 70Ć98" size only, a dedicated A2 print file is included.
This version is intended for professional printing at 100 % scale, offering a smoother experience for assembling large-format designs.
Smaller sizes (30Ć42" and 50Ć70") remain in US Letter format.
Ā
š NEED A CUSTOM QUILT SIZE?
This pattern is available in multiple dimensions (sold separately).
To create a custom format, use the standard formula:
(Desired size Ć· Pattern size) Ć 100 = Print percentage
š Example: turning a 30" pattern into a 24" project = (24 Ć· 30) Ć 100 = 80 %
ā Important:
Scaling down is not recommended for the smallest size (30Ć42").
At this scale, reducing further leads to extremely small pieces, particularly challenging in highly detailed patterns like this owl.
When resizing, remember that seam allowances shrink proportionally. While this does not change the final block dimensions, it can make piecing less comfortable. You can trim with a larger buffer if needed.
Ā
šÆ ABOUT COMPLEXITY
This pattern is rated intermediate.
The 30Ć42" version is dense and suited to quilters who enjoy fine detail and compact layouts.
The 50Ć70" and 70Ć98" sizes offer a more spacious visual presentation, making the design easier to handle and more dramatic once assembled.
ā Tip for the 70Ć98" version:
Even though the pattern includes US Letter files, it is much easier to work from the A2 print version.
Larger sheets limit taping, improve section alignment, and give you a clearer view of the full composition.
Plan to print the A2 file at a copy shop for the best experience.
