You could try Rapid Resizer. You can print out the final pattern in any color you like, but I do use red. Great program, use it a lot.Chuck D
When a work lifts your spirits and inspires bold and noble thoughts in you, do not look for any other standard to judge by: the work is good, the product of a master craftsman.

If I want to change colour I use GIMP (free program)
Open the PDF and find the page I want and import.
Use select tool to select area I want. Ie big square on tools page
Select colors and then colorize. Play with the saturation and hue to get the color you want and then print.
I hope you can see the results here.

Another option Terry is to scan the pattern to your computer. Put it someplace where you can find it again.
Here's what I do when I want to print a color to some patterns.
Open file in Irfanview, click File, click Print, select the printer I want to use, click printer setup, click properties, click effects, click box monochrome effect, select color by moving slide, click OK, click OK again, click Print.
I realize you may not have the same setup as I do, but if you play around with your parameters you should be able to find you can print your patterns in the color you want. Good luck.
.....and as I mentioned in my earlier post, a highlighter can be helpful if you don't want to use the printer.Last edited by Wood Dog; 12-19-2011, 05:27 PM.Gloria ............... Two memorable things to say in life, "Hello" for the first time, and "Good-bye" for the last.

Hay Chuck if I can step in on this thread. I have the rapid resizer program also. How do you just get the line to change color an not the whole pattern?
I have had a lot of trouble with the program but they have been very good at showing me how to get around the trouble an make the program work. Thanks

Update: I checked and the last page gives you the options of several colors.Last edited by ChuckD; 12-19-2011, 08:48 PM.Chuck D

I did it!
I just changed the color to magenta in the preferences, and it worked.
Sometimes I just can't see the forest through the trees!

by Sandy OaksFour Miniature Birdhouse Ornaments finished and ready to display. The birdhouses are Ash and the little birds are Purple Heart. I used Pegas #7 Skip blades on the birdhouses and #5 Skip blades on the little birds. The finish is dipping in Shellac further diluted with 50% denatured alcohol.

Reply to What do you think?by Gary beasleyI tried a house vac once for a dust collector. It was prone to clogging the lines and when I tried to put a cyclone can on it the vacuum collapsed the garbage can.

Reply to Vasesby Gary beasleyI found this pattern in Steves catalog and freehanded a vase form. This one may appeal to the folks that bought the butterfly vase.
