Hello, I would LOVE to make this, but when I print it on my home printer, it seems to not print all of the pattern. Is there a way I can get this pattern to work? Thank you sooo much!

I’m not really sure. I can’t give definite info without seeing your computer setup. Try checking the scaling on your printer settings to be sure that it’s printing at the correct size.

There is a pattern with instructions available here
http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2009/05/craft_pattern_podcast_snuggler.htmlI’m not a good enough sewer to figure it out myself with no instructions.
People seem to have trouble downloading that one as well.
but after reading the comments I was able to download the pdf.
After a little bit of a wait the PDF even loaded properly in a new window when I used internet explorer rather than firefox.
If it still doesn’t load for you try the direct download like she says.
In INTERNET EXPLORER right click on the download link when the window pops up Choose “save target as” choose a destination folder and voila you have it saved on your computer.
As far as printing goes, I had to Open the PDF file with ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR one page at a time. In adobe illustrator printing options include “tile” “full pages” Your pattern will print out on (4) 8/1/2 x 11 sheets. According to adobe’s website that option should be available in acrobat, but it is not available for me. Maybe you need to have Acrobat Professional not just the reader.
So like I said I had to use “open with” to open the PDF in another ADOBE program, WORKED for me with Illustrator, you should try it in PHOTOSHOP or INDESIGN if you have one of these programs.
This is why we can’t print large pages. You need the full version of adobe acrobat not just the free reader.

Hi Keith,
The tile print feature is part of Acrobat not Reader, which is why you do not see it in the Adobe Reader print menu. If you’re interested in testing the tiling capability try downloading a 30-day trial of Acrobat 9 at:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/tryout.htmlIf you are lucky enough to get the pattern to load in Internet Explorer the printing options were available for me to tile large pages. So print it out directly from the web browser. Probably a good idea to make sure you have the latest version of internet explorer and the adobe reader plugin
good luck every oneRachel,
Thanks for posting this! This download has been giving people lots of trouble, but your research and explanation will help make it easier. You rock!!
