- Use a copy machine, but be careful to check for distortion in the
copied pattern. Measure the copied pattern to make sure it measures exactly
the same as the original pattern. Sometimes one side will match but the other
side will be too long or too short. Each copy machine and brand is different.
- Trace with pencil or permanent pen onto tracing paper. Make sure you have
traced every line and placed the numbers/letters in the correct sections. You
could use a light box or table to do this.
- Using the original with 1 to 8 sheets of plain paper underneath, stitch
with the sewing machine using a long stitch and No thread along all the sewing
lines and outside edges to perforate the paper with the design. Then transfer
all the numbers/letters to the new pattern.
