Can someone explain to me how i can enlarge a pattern by 400% please using a standard printer ?

My daughter did mine for me pcc.  If you don't get any joy here I'll ask her.  Is it the Tilda dolls?  I've got copies of a lot of them.  If it's one I've got I can send you it.

I have never managed to do it myself so will watch for suggestions. I take mine to the print shop in town.

If each piece needs to be bigger than A4 you are going to have to join the pattern pieces. Does the printer have a scanner built in?

Thanks petal & chez ,

Its the positioning to get each pic to join up thats also a problem .  As its a dressmaking pattern it has to be exact sizing or ot wont fit together 

I think i will just take it to a print shop its faster & less frustrating & use less paper
