5 out of 4 PDF Pattern Printing Tips

January 10, 2018 in Sewing School by Laura ONeal

Having issues printing a 5 out of 4 PDF Pattern?  No worries.  These PDF Pattern Printing Tips are bound to help you out!

5 out of 4 PDF Pattern Printing Tips

  1.  Printing from Adobe Acrobat Reader is encouraged. Seriously, download it and use it!  You’ll be glad you did. Get it HERE.
  2. Not all mobile devices are able to adjust scaling and your pattern may not print to the correct scale. Print from a desktop or laptop for the best results.
  3. Layers are your friend, like, your best friend!
  4. ALWAYS print page one first so that you can measure the 1in or 5cm square to be sure your printer is printing correctly.

Here’s the HOW

Laura is here to run you through the how to’s in the video below.  While she’s working on a mac, you may be working on PC. However, the only difference is that certain things may look different. No biggie, right? For the purposes of this tutorial Laura is referencing the Nancy Raglan.

    Shouldn’t you print just the first page to check the scale before you print all of the other pages??

    Thanks for the printing tip tutorial. I didn’t know you could print one size like that. Haven’t gotten my pattern cut out and sewn yet but things are starting to look easier and faster already.?❤

      Yes, all our patterns are layered so you can print only the size you need. Additionally, there are print guides within our tutorial so you can print only the pieces you need! Great question, thank you!
