FAQ
How do I know if my file is A0? I opened up the pattern and there were 25 pages!
Designers will include the paper/document size in the name of the file! So, once your pattern has downloaded, take a look at all the files it came with. You're looking for anything with A0 or "copy shop" in the file name. If you don't see an A0 or copy shop file with your pattern files, the designer did not include one and you'll have to print off the A4/Letter size and tape it together. We can print that for you as well! Just use the pattern instructions item in our shop which is priced for the smaller paper size.
You can see what that looks like here.
A4 or Letter is the 8.5"x11" size that you have to tape together.
How do I find out how many sheets my file has?
To see how many sheets your file has, open up the PDF. If you don't have Adobe, you can also open it using a web browser like google chrome. You'll see the sheets listed on the side bar if you're using Adobe.
this is the amount of sheets you'll order!
There is also a free version of Adobe if you want to download and use that!
What are layers and how do I know which ones I might want printed?
In files with layers, the pattern designer has set up the file so that each garment size corresponds to one "layer." This is really helpful because we can also turn off any irrelevant layers which eliminates all the confusing lines. If you get specific layers printed, those are the only lines you'll see on the pattern.
To see if your pattern has layers, open it up in Adobe and click the layers icon in the side bar.
You can see all the layers here. To know what specific layer(s) you want printed, you'll need to find your garment size using the pattern instructions. Typically people will get 1-3 layers printed, with everything else turned off.
If you're not seeing these layers, your pattern designer did not include them--when your pattern is printed, you'll see all the lines.
To request specific layers, just put it in the notes section on the file upload!
