AboutHenry Babcock Expertise I learned needlepoint from my grandmother over 30 years ago. I can answer most questions on the subject. I know about producing needlepoint as well as cleaning, repairing and restoring.
Question I'm relatively new to needlepoint. I found a pattern in a book for a lampshade. However, my lamp is larger than the pattern, and I'm not sure how to enlarge it. The pattern is an African design, and I think if I can figure out how to make a larger canvas I can redraw the design to fit.
Answer Beverly,
You might have some luck with taking the book to a copy shop and copying the pattern while enlarging it. You might have to enlarge separate parts of the pattern and then reassemble the parts into the larger pattern.
