Altering Patterns

[ChuckD]

How do you all find to be the best way to alter patterns? I have done a few changes in the past but I have to change the pattern in SSW with the boxers. The boxers owned by the ones I makeing the slab for does not have the pointy ears but lie down beside thier head. A bit of a change but makes a big difference in the appearence. Any ideas??

I would photocopy then use whiteout on the parts you want changing.
do the touch up and photocopy again.

You could also scan the image and modify it electronically.

I like to scan patterns when I can so I can print them off when I need them.

Altering patterns

I scan it and then edit it using Paint Shop Pro or equivalent software. It allows you to do whatever you want.
Then just print it out.

Chuck,
If you are computer- or money- challenged, you can photocopy the pattern, and use tracing paper or vellum over it - trace the parts you want to keep - then, using another piece of tracing paper - fool around with your alterations 'til you're happy - then trace the whole shebang together, and you've got it. If this isn't clear, I could try again, maybe.
