When you purchase a sewing pattern you will be able to download a file in .zip format (if you don’t have WinZip or other software to open it you can download it free here) containing several other files:
- For printing at home
- The pattern(s) in pdf format for A4 and Letter size paper (you need Acrobat Reader to read the file)
- Print overview in .jpg format showing the layout of the pattern pieces on paper. It is meant to help you assemble your pattern, showing how many rows and columns make up your pattern. The exact position of the pattern pieces may differ slightly from the image, depending on pattern size and paper format. If you need help assembling your pattern you can find it explained in How to assemble your pattern.
- For printing at a print/copy shop (NO assembly)
- The pattern(s) in pdf format, all pieces on one large sheet (max. 90cm wide) which you can take to your local print shop or upload to an online printing service like Fedex Office. For more information on printing your patterns at a print shop see Print Your Pattern at a Print Shop
- Recommended fabric layout incl. required fabric yardage
