How do I make sure the pattern prints at the correct size?
Always open your PDF in a dedicated reader (like Adobe Acrobat) rather than a web browser. In your printer settings, select "Actual Size" or set the scale to "100%". Do not check "Scale to Fit" or "Fit to Page." Print the first page with the test square and measure it to ensure it is exactly the right size before printing the rest of the pattern.
Do your patterns have layers?
Yes! Most of our patterns feature PDF layers. This allows you to toggle specific sizes on or off in Adobe Acrobat, so you can print only the size(s) you need, saving ink and making the lines much easier to trace or cut.

How do I choose the right size?
How do I choose the right size?
Please refer to the detailed size chart included on each pattern's product page, as pattern sizing often differs from standard ready-to-wear clothing sizes. Base your choice on your current body measurements (bust/chest, waist, and hips) rather than your typical store size.
