PRINTING AND ASSEMBLY
How do I print my PDF patterns?
All of our sewing patterns are formatted to print at home or at a copyshop.
If you are printing at home:
-
Choose either the Letter or the A4 format.
-
Always print the first page only to test the scaling box that ensures your printer settings are correct before printing the entire pattern.
-
It is very important to select "No scaling" or "Print at 100%" in the print settings.
-
Printing your pattern at the correct scale greatly determines the quality of your final garment.
What if I don't want to tape my pattern together?
If you would like to save yourself time from printing and assembling the patterns at home, you can send the 'copyshop' files to a local copy/print shop.
The copyshop files are available in 'A0' format and can be printed on standard 36" x 48" pages. The copyshop must print at "no scaling" or 100% scaling to ensure the scale is correct.
How do I find a Copy/Print shop?
Call or email print shops in your area to see if they offer large-scale printing.
Larger corporations like Fedex and Staples will also do large-format printing.
Online printing services like Pdfplotting.com and Stitch Sew Shop are also great and will ship the printed files to you.
