Which patterns have A0 printing option?
All of the patterns that were created after July 2015 include the A0 option. You’ll see this information in each pattern listing as well.
What does A0 mean?
A0 is a size paper that is approximately 33.1 x 46.8 in. Most print and copy shops and office stores can print this size. It means less taping for you!
What are Scrundies?
Scrundies is the nickname for Scrundlewear, a ladies underwear pattern. This is also our most popular pattern.
How do I print the patterns?
You’ll find printing instructions in each pattern instructions. You should open the pattern in Adobe Reader (download the free version if you don’t have it already), note which pages you’d like to print by checking page 2, or check the chart titled “Print by Size” and then click ‘print’.
Make sure you select “size” then “custom scale 100%” OR “actual size” and “auto portrait/landscape”.
Follow the instructions in the pattern for piecing the pages together.
Can the patterns be printed on A4 size paper?
All files are PDF files that can be printed at home on Letter or A4 sized paper. Follow the printing directions in the file regardless of the size paper you’re using.
Where do I find fabric requirements?
Each pattern has a Quick Page Reference on page 2, look there for which page has “fabric” or “fabric requirements” on it. Also, our new patterns all have the requirements on the title page which are listed in the photos in the listings.
What kind of fabric can I use for your patterns?
Most of our patterns require knit fabrics but the info specific to each pattern is in the listing and/or the title page.
Do I need to have a serger to sew knits?
No, you don’t. You can use your regular sewing machine to sew knits. Check your owner’s manual for which stitches work well for stretch fabrics. Almost all machines have a zig zag stitch, that is my go-to stretch stitch. You just have to shorten the stitch length (bringing the zigs and zags closer together), be sure that you are sewing using the proper seam allowance, and trim off the seam allowance after each step.
Where can I buy knit fabric?
You’re in the right place because we now offer cotton/lycra jersey knit fabric here!
