How to Assemble a PDF Sewing Pattern Print using A4 Paper

Printer settings: Confirm that your settings are set at 100% scale/size or “Actual size” DO NOT resize, zoom, fit to page or adjust to paper size

Always print a test page: Find the page with the test Square and print to confirm sizing, by measuring the square, BEFORE printing the entire pattern. IF, for some reason your test square is too small or too big, THEN, you can adjust the scale (99% or 101%) until the correct size is achieved. Remembering - you can save on paper by printing the pattern pieces only and viewing the instructions online.

Assembling the PDF Pattern Following the enclosed diagram of the pattern layout, fold or cut the pages using the symbols and pattern lines as guides. Tape together to form pattern pieces. Once your pattern is assembles, either trace or cut your pieces, noting that you can reprint your pattern at anytime, once saved you your computer.
