Stitch a Batch of Cupcakes

From Cheryl Fall, About.com GuideMay 16, 2010

A new free pattern has posted featuring a set of 4 colorful, delectable Needlepoint Cupcakes! The designs can be used as a group or individually, and may be used in any number of ways including framed, as pillow appliques, or as ornaments.

The designs can be stitched on any size of needlepoint canvas using your favorite, brightly colored threads. I even stitched one of them on tiny, 18-count interlock canvas in DMC Satin Floss to make a cute package fob framed with a one-piece Memory Thread trim and loop (see the blog photo). The recipient can use it as an ornament, and the package decoration becomes part of the gift!

Very cute, quick to do. But I’m having trouble printing out the pattern. It comes up as so small and when I drop it onto a blank page and enlarge it, then the lines get fuzzy. My eyes are “fuzzy” to begin with. :-) Helpful hints anyone?

Not sure why they are printing small. I have reloaded them actual size – which is about 3 x 5 inches! Will let technical support know about the problem. Keep your fingers crossed… ~Cheryl
