Use software such as Gimp to enlarge patterns or, even better, use Inkscape. Steves patterns are in vector format, and once you load the page into Inkscape, you can set the size to whatever you like.

Greetings, I realize this is an old post but, I do not log in very often now due to eye surgery and eye strain.
These printers advertise that they will enlarge and reduce as you wanted.

Most people on the scrollsaw sites that I view all recommend a free program called Rapid Resizer
Good luck and God Bless! Spirithorse
