    Thank you for the clear tutorial. If you don't mind my question: Shouldn't there be some margin in the A0 paper? Because I can that some parts of the pattern touch the paper edge. I've never printed A0 so not sure if the printer can handle that.

    Hi Vanesa thank you for creating this. My questions are as follows: If you need to grade and lengthen, would you do these steps separately as you have shown in your tutorials, or can you do this all together? Also are their any changes you would update as the program has been updated since your original work?

    This tutorial was EXCELLENT!! I'm relatively new to projector sewing and i LOVE it.. sadly not all of the patterns I have are available as a projector format :( Do you project right from inkscape? Did you have to calibrate a new zoom percentage (vs projecting from adobe?).. i've got some projects coming up that i'd love to use my projector for!

    This was very helpful! I ordered a McCall's digital pattern and didn't realize that it didn't come in AO format. I did have some trouble however, I'm working on a MacBook air, and I think the version of Inkscape that I have isn't quite the same as yours. I wasn't able to find a "lock nodes" button and wasn't sure if I was lining it all up. Then, of course, I did something, and lost my pattern completely! Even though I was saving it through out. Back to the drawing board, right?

      In that case try to select as much as you can like you did, then hold the shift key and manually select anything that was missed until everything is selected. You should be able to adjust the page size then. 🤗 let me know if that helps!

      I’m glad this was helpful! Unfortunately in Inkscape there is not a way to add layers. You can however save multiple versions of the same pattern and hide layers so that you have one layer isolated at a time.

    I've watched this video numerous times and understand what you are doing. Thank you. Your presentation is excellent. I have spent an embarrassing number of hours trying to length the Love Notions Laundry Day Tee Dress by a few inches following these instructions. I am totally unable to accomplish the task. I'm not super tech-y so that doesn't help, I'm sure. Do you think running a pattern through PDF Stitcher affects trying to lengthen it in Inkscape? I do the part where I create a new layer and then work on the front and back of the dress in the second layer. When I select the pattern piece using Command A I see the dotted lines for the selection. But as soon as I click on the Node Edit Tool and then double click on the intersection where I want to place a node, the selection box around the pattern piece disappears. Does that suggest something that I'm doing that is causing me problems? I've googled various things to try and figure it out but to no avail. I am using Inkscape 1.1 Alpha, but only because I had the same problem in the prior version and thought maybe moving up would help. If something jumps out at you that I'm missing, I'd love to hear it. Thanks again for the time you put into your tutorials. They are wonderful.

    • @billiebeads
      @billiebeads 3 года назад

      Just wanted to update here. I downloaded the Ornella blouse and was able to successfully lengthen it without any issues. I have since gone back and brought the Love Notions Rhapsody Blouse projector file into Inkscape and tried to lengthen in it without running it through PDF Stitcher or without removing layers. I must just be inept because when I get the duplicated piece to the second layer and select it, as soon as I click on the node button the selection disappears. I have done it over and over again. Also, am I missing some step in bringing the guides down and trying to place a node where they cross the pattern piece? As I get close with the node pointer I get the "hand" icon. Sometimes when I double click to add a node I end up selecting a section of nodes. I'm sorry to keep pestering you, but I'm curious if you are able to bring any pattern you want into Inkscape and do what you do without any issues? Obviously I'm not giving up. I know I'm not adept using this program so I feel it has to be something I'm doing/not doing that is causing me this problem. I am retired and have tons of time, so I don't mind sitting and trying to figure it out on my own or googling for help elsewhere. I just want to be sure that it's me and not a particular brand of pattern. Or some obscure setting in Inkscape I've toggled accidentally. Thanks for listening.

    • @billiebeads
      @billiebeads 3 года назад

      Success. I gave up and learned how to use the bezier tool and was able to lengthen the dress and remove the original version from my saved layout and replace with the new correct length. Now I can project this pattern and cut it out so easily. Thanks again for the videos. I had some shoulder problems recently and your LBB video caused me to go and download it and come back for added front closure. Genius. Haven't made one yet, but hope to eventually. For now I'm just thrilled to have accomplished something in Inkscape. I will not let it defeat me, that's for certain.

Do you have any advice for re-organizing pattern pieces to fit to exactly A0 size to print on a plotter? Or how to create a pdf that has multiple A0 pages? Also, if you're interested Marta Gvozdinskaya has a video for creating a script that a allows you to import all pages simultaneously.
