Cuties, when you download a pattern from a site and on the pattern it says 100% or 200% does this mean you need to increase it that much? If so how do you increase to print out? Thanks

it usually means that's how much it's already been increased (I think)

Bikermom I have always wondered if it is already increased too. H&*

The actual true size of a pattern should be 100% to
make the item the size intended. If it shows 200%, that would be double the size of original pattern.

Angel when it is printed on the pattern does that mean it is already that size? H&*

I have never seen this on any of the thousands of patterns I've downloaded be they freebies or paid for!

Are you talking about a sewing pattern or applique for a quilt? Or are you talking about embroidery DESIGNS?
If it is a sewing or quilting pattern, read the instructions carefully because this usually means that you have to enlarge it. You do this with your printer. Look at your printer settings on your software and click the appropriate enlargement. It should tell you the percentage.
