Resizing punch needle patterns

By Amy

Resizing a punch needle pattern

Sometimes, I love a pattern, but it isn’t quite the right size for the project I have envisioned.

So, if the copyright of the pattern allows, I will resize the pattern to make it work for me.

I am going to show you how I do this using one of my free patterns.

Calico Cat Free Punch Needle Pattern

How to resize a punch needle pattern:

This calico cat pattern is available here for free.

First, I take a picture of the pattern.

If I have a paper pattern, I take a picture with my camera or phone and import it into my computer.

If I have a digital pattern, I take a screenshot of just the pattern.

Next, I open my word processor and import the photo.

Sign me up!

Once it is in my word processor, I can make it smaller

Decrease pattern size

or larger.

Increase pattern size

Most word processors have a ruler built in so you can tell what size you have.

When I have it just the right size, I can print it and start punching!

I hope this helps you!

Be sure to pin this tutorial for later!

Blessings~
