Morning All

I had some lovely craft books for Mother's Day, just what I wanted. In the back of each book, are the templates for the items to be made.
But, in a couple of books it says to enlarge by 200%, and in the other, to increase by 400%. Where on the High Street will I get this done, please.

Many Thanks

You might be able to do it on a photocopier. Could try your local library.
Good Luck

Photocopiers should do it.

I did it over 25 years ago using a photocopier!

I had to use A4 paper, then spliced them together

;-)

PS I waited until the boss went home, then enlarged some sewing patterns lol

Thanks Von and Scozz. I had thought about using a photocopier, but wondered if a company did it from a shop on the HIgh Street.
Will have to give it some thought.

Many Thanks Again

Julia,

Most towns have a shop that does office printing,,,,,,,,their machines arent the same as in a library,but capable of of much bigger items.

Any good "pronto print" type place that prints flyers etc should be able to enlarge to A2 size approx 24" x 16".

Regards.

Rollo, you were abusive, etc to me on one of my posts the other week. I posted to this effect, but I did not report you for it.
However, everyone else has read the title,and have accepted it for what it is, in the spirit it was meant.

But, thanks to Kay and Mayfield, I have sufficient information to answer the question which I asked, that being' Where I could get Enlargements, that were needed, done on the High Street'

If this thread disappears, I will know who to hold responsible.
It is a pity you do not have anything else to do to entertain yourself, except to ;look on here, and see where you can make mishief.
Pick on someone else, and leave me alone.

I admit I was mildly amused but didn't want to spoil Julias thread - I don't assume that everyone appreciates school yard humour.

Hello Island, long time no speak.

I don't mind abit of harmless inuendo, as you know, but in this case it was more of 'what was said to me and by whom.'

Yes, I can see how it easily could have been mis-construed, but it also said 'craft books' in the opening line, not 'top shelf, dirty mags.'

Hope everything is going well for you. Have been thinking about it.
