Title: Steve I have a question for you now.

When I print out your pattern what size should I increase it to or should I leave it the size I downloaded it at?

I always print them at 100%...unless I am going to 'adapt them in some way, i.e., use just part of the pattern to include in something else or just use a portion of the pattern.

OK, I'm not Steve, bud i think you can scale it to any size you want, (how small can you saw?)
just keep in mind that when pieces have to fit in each other, they don't when you scale the pattern. The thickness changes than to.
I guess then you need it at 100% (Bud that's a question for Steve)  8)

Chachi, normally you will want to print them at 100%. When you select print make sure that "page scaling" is set to none in the print dialog or the pattern will print incorrectly. Some pattern can be printed any size you want. Just understand that any pieces that fit together with slot and tab will have to be corrected. Holes for clock etc will also have to be changed.
