Default The Nativity by Heaven & Earth

having to put the enlarged pattern together and stitching it the right way.


Just mark the sections very carefully. I have marked the original "Page
1 Left" and "Page 1 Right" before copying and made sure that those
markings show up on the enlarged copy. That helps keep your copies
organized.

Then if you stitch "in strips" (all of "Column 1" first -- pages 1, 6,
11, 16, etc.) rather than randomly, you'll have a reference point that
all the stitches on the right side need to line up, which will also help
you keep on track.

And, of course, something that size, gridding the fabric is worth the time.
