Pattern Printing Instructions

You print the patterns by first downloading them to your PC. Go to the pattern page by clicking on the thumbnail image for each pattern. The pattern is the black/white/gray picture at the bottom of the pattern page. Right click on the pattern image, and select "Save Image As", or "Save Picture As", and save the file to your hard drive.

Once you've saved the pattern, use a paint program such as Paintshop Pro (free trial download, see below...), or Gimp (Freeware download, see below) to print the pattern. Open the file you saved in the first step with the paint program. Then use the "Page Setup" under the "File" dropdown to set the image to "Fit to Page", and select either "Portrait" or "Landscape" depending on how you would like your pattern to print. Some patterns look better in Portrait, and others better in Landscape, but you can print patterns either way. Click OK when you're done.

After you've made your page setup selections, print the pattern using the "File/Print" dropdown.
