Printing guide

How to Print Your Sewing Pattern

Follow these steps to print at the correct scale and assemble your pieces perfectly.

Step
01

Check how many pages you need

Open your pattern PDF and check the total page count shown on screen. Make sure you have enough paper loaded before you start.

 

Step
02

Choose your format & print

Select the format that matches your paper size or setup.

A4
Print at 100%, no margins. Cut and match numbered corners. Print in color for easier assembly.
US Letter
Print at 100% or actual size. Assemble using letters (rows) and numbers (columns) on each page.
A0
Print at a local copy shop. No assembly needed.
A3 / Projector
Available on request at no extra cost. Contact us with your size.

Step
03

Verify the scale

Before printing everything, print the page with the 5 cm / 1.96″ test square and measure it. It must match exactly — adjust your printer scale if needed.

If alignment seems off, test two consecutive pages at slightly different scales before printing the full set.

Happy sewing!
