Since my eyes aren't what they used to be, I try to make my favorite pastime easier. When I purchase a new pattern, I immediately take it to Kinkos to have it enlarged. This serves two purposes. One, I can see the symbols and two, I can use my many highlighters to help me keep track of where I am!

I do not know how to use these high tech copy machines so, I always ask for help. I have been doing this for many years now. Last time I went to ask for help to make a copy, the sales clerk refused. He said that I was breaking copyright laws. I told him that it was my understanding that I could make one copy,of a pattern I had purchased, if it was for my own use. I told him that I wasn't going to sell it. He refused to help me because I was breaking the law!

Please let me know if I've been doing something wrong. How does everyone else enlarge their patterns?

Do you make working copies of your patterns? What are your thoughts about them? Vote in the poll to let us know if you use copies of your patterns. Use the comments section below or add a comment in the Forum to let us know your opinion about making copies.

What do I think? Most designers don't mind if you make a working copy of a pattern, and neither do I, but it is not acceptable to make copies of patterns to share with others.
