check in pattern making, look under my post sizing problem with inkscape when printing, see Don's post as it took care of the problem for me. it was a setting when I was printing.
Thanks for the help Don. Here is a test page I just made. It's a 5x5 square but when I print it, it comes out at 4-5/8" x 4-5/8" using inkscape 1.1.1

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me. When I make a pattern in Inkscape that is 5.5" wide and I save it as a PDF and print the PDF it prints at 4.75" wide. The length also shrinks. When opening Inkscape I set it to US letterhead and change everything to inches. I'm not sure why when I print my patterns they are shrinking.
