To mark a copy of a quilting design onto your quilt: You can sew, with your sewing machine (no thread), the quilting design. Put a tablespoon of cornstarch (cocoa or cinnamon for lighter fabrics) into a 4" circle of loose woven cotton. Tie into a pounce ball. Pat the pounce ball over the holes in the design to mark the design on your quilt. |

Professional Longarm Quilting
Formula for Enlarging & Reducing Quilts
To enlarge: Say you want a 12" block and the current size block you have is
6". You would divide 12 by 6. That would equal: 2. Then you multiply 2 by
100 and you get 200. So your answer would look like this:
12 /6 =2 x100 = 200%
To reduce: If you have a 12" block and your wanting a 3" one you would
divide 3 by 12 and you would get .25. Now multiply .25 x 100 and here's your
calculated answer: 3/12=.25x100 = 25%
