Choosing Fabric: The Art and Science

How to glue a pattern together.

1. Before printing the pattern, check the printer settings by setting the scale to 1:1 or 100% or “real size”.
2. Print out a 10×10 “test square” and measure with a ruler to match its sides (the sides should be 10 cm).
3. Open the pattern file, check for borders and page numbers on the sheets. The numbering is at the top edge of the sheet: the first digit indicates the horizontal row, the second digit the vertical row.

Note. In standard layouts there are always 4 horizontal rows. If it is important for you to determine the number of vertical rows, divide the number of sheets in the layout by 4 (for example: 36/4=9).

4. Print out all pages of the pattern file.
5. Lay them out according to the plan.
6. For further work it is necessary to cut the frame from the sheet on both sides along the upper edge (excluding sheets of the first horizontal row, these are sheets numbered 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, etc. depending on the length of the layout) and the left edge (excluding sheets of the first vertical row, these are sheets numbered 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, etc.).
7. Lay out the pattern sheets. If all the sheets are laid out correctly, the lines on the sheets will be extensions of each other.
8. Cover the remaining edges of the frame with glue (or use any other convenient method of joining, for example: painter’s tape) and join the adjacent sheets, joining the cut of the sheet to the frame. First join all horizontal rows, then join them together in the same way.
9. The patterns can be cut along the seam allowance line – the outer contour of the pattern.
10. All internal lines are marking lines or contour lines for the pattern.

1. The test square is a reference point for fine-tuning the print settings.
2. Always print a test square before printing.
3. The pattern can be printed after the print is set up with the sides of the test square being 10X10 cm.
4. When setting up test square printing, we recommend selecting a custom scale of 100% or the actual size.
5. Your print settings may differ from the recommended settings.
