♥ PRINTING YOUR PDF SEWING PATTERNS.

PHONE & TABLET:

As outlined above, if printing the pattern via phone or tablet, use the Sewsy App so you can access the layers & print to the correct scale.

DESKTOP & LAPTOP COMPUTER:

1. Open In Adobe Reader. To use the layers function in a PDF pattern, open the Print-At-Home pattern in Adobe Reader on a laptop or desktop computer. Visit our Help & Resources index for more information on layers.

This function isn't available on the phone or tablet version. As such, some customers recommend the Sewsy apps for layers functionality on a mobile device.

We recommend reading the tutorial off a device, rather than printing it. You can download & read your tutorial on any device.

2. Printer Settings. It's important to select the correct printer settings to ensure your pattern prints to the correct scale. You'll find printer specs in your tutorial &, for more detail, here on the website.

3. Page Printing Guide. You don’t need to print every page or size – just the ones you need. Our guide in the tutorial helps you identify exactly which pages to print.

4. Layout Summary. This shows what your print at home pattern will look like once assembled (taped together).

A0 COPY SHOP PRINTING:

Read the information provided in your tutorial as you may not need to print every page.

We recommend requesting plan printing and following the specs outlined in your tutorial & above (for at home printing). You can find our recommended printing specs on Menu > Help & Resources > Printing or here.

Use a recommended pdf pattern printer if you are new. They will know what to do when you don't. You can find them here or Menu > Help & Resources > Printing.

Printing at a copy shop is always going to be more expensive that printing at home.

See more info in the Help & Resources tab above this one or on the main menu here.
