I use to have a software to resize patterns, but I can no longer find it.  It was free.  Can anyone help find a software for resizing?

I use PhotoScape,  it is free.  However if you want to go larger than 8.5 x 11 I haven't figured out how to do that.

Rapidresizer looks good, but to print it looks to me like ya gotta pay.

another option you can go with is to convert your file into a pdf . and if you have the newest version of adobe acrobat reader (always a free program) then in your print settings when you print your file you can print in poster size and enlarge it by precentages...there is also a view of it to show how many pages your picture will print out on so you can adjust accordingly. it may take a couple trys printing to get the exact size you want but it works great.

When it comes to computers, I have the IQ of a rock.  We live near 3 copy shops.  I just take a ruler & calculator and decide what percentage I want them to copy at.  Sets me back 10 cents per copy. 

The downside is that this comes out of our grocery money, but we get by.   :)  :)   :)   :)   :)   :D   :D

I'm with Charlie.  Rapid Resizer not only allow you to size to whatever dimensions you want, it prints it over multiple sheets of paper if needed and provides alignment aids to those sheets show you can properly attach them to the project.  I have used it for several years.

I have used Rapid resizer for the last century or so.  It was free for the first little bit then I paid my dues and have not found anything better, free or other wise.  Lets see now, $30 divided by the number of years I used it, comes to not much and worth every penny.  Good Luck  :)_ :) :)
