Thanks for the preview! I think this is helpful for those who’ve already tried projector sewing. For those sewists who are still trying to decide if projector sewing is for them, this preview might be confusing. People who haven’t taken the plunge yet won’t understand the problems caused by not having a completely flat cutting/ projecting surface. They won’t understand how difficult it can be to position the projector just the right way. I think this software will remove the major negatives about using a projector for those who aren’t great at tech ( me!). This software makes me wish I’d put off projector sewing until this software was available. But- I guess if I’d waited, I wouldn’t understand how awesome this software actually is! I plan on buying it when it’s available for purchase.
Yes, I for sure plan to do a video, or possibly more like a series, for those brand new and starting out with this software. Thanks for the confirmation about that! I think the first customers will be those who have tried projectors and couldn’t get theirs calibrated or who bought one and got stuck at the calibration dread stage but for sure people coming in new to projectors will massively benefit from this software, too, and will have no idea how good they have it. 😉😂
I think a series would be great- geared to those new to projector sewing and as slow paced as possible so those who aren’t tech savvy ( That’s me! 😂) will understand. I’d also appreciate a series that’s slow paced, geared to the low tech audience- on both Inkscape and affinity designer. Clinton’s video to introduce project and cut was on my level- basic! I’m not putting myself or anyone else down who needs to be taught at that level. It’s just not the world I function in. I’m a Home Care nurse, not a computer whiz. Sewing is a hobby for me. I’m very proud of myself that I did manage to calibrate my UST after a lot of reading the guides in the Facebook group and finally figuring out how to get my table level. 💪🏻🏆❤️. It’s a great group of people who have a lot of knowledge and patience.
@@marymccusker8133 have you seen my AD videos? I tried to break those down in the same way. I’ve also been thinking about starting some online classes over AD where we can work together in a small group to learn it and ask questions, etc. That would be paid but would be regular, live, small group classes.
I think I watched all your videos multiple times! AD is over my head right now. I don’t have a current project I’m working on now- too busy with work and some charity knitting. If I come up with a project when I’m not as busy, I’d definitely be interested in online classes for AD! There’s a sewing studio near me. I’ve been “ encouraging “ the owner to get into projector sewing so he can start teaching various softwares like AD too. Maybe with the “ project and cut” software, the owner will be willing since that eliminates so many issues.
Clever programme. I couldn't tell from the video which of the lines you lined up with the lines on your mat - the inside solid line, outside solid line, or dashed middle line, but I'm guessing the instructions on the programme show that clearly?
It's a bit hard to follow the concept when you have blurred out the image of the pattern. Don't quite understand the reasoning behind it. If the purpose of this demo is a preview, I would imagine having it projected as in real life would be the most effective way to help the community understand how this is suppose to work. We can't even see the final outcome for the advantages of this software.
I don’t think it makes any difference at all. It’s a projected pattern like any other. But it’s blurred because I used a pattern that was in testing when I recorded the video, thinking it would be out before I released the video. The pattern took longer to release than I expected and so I had to blur it. The point of this video is the ease of calibration. Not that you see a pattern at the end. You see a pattern at the end no matter which way you calibrate.
@@DaileySewsStuff OK, thanks for clarifying. New to this concept so am taking in EVERYTHING and trying to make sense of it all. Thanks for making and sharing! ❤
This program looks wonderful! I am getting pretty good with PDF Stitcher, and “almost there” with Affinity Designer, in preparing patterns for projecting. I learned where most of the tools are, and now I need to watch your tutorials about using AD for pattern adjustments and “pattern hacks”. I really want to eliminate paper patterns. Oh- is there a good “system” for organizing digital patterns and pictures of the garments so you can find something in your collection?
When k recorded it, that’s the pattern I was working on. That’s how I usually make these videos-with real life things I’m working on so the information you get is based on how things are actually used. The pattern ended up taking much longer than I expected or is usual for a pattern on testing to be released so I had to blur most of it. I actually waited a few extra days in editing, hoping it would be released so I didn’t have to blur it. I left the straight line at the top so you could see it was a straight line. But, honestly, the image of the pattern at the end isn’t really necessary to understand the software. Yes, a properly calibrated pattern is the point of any calibration, but the point is how quickly and easily this calibrates, not that it is calibrated. I also showed that with calibration grid being projected.
We are having so much fun, and these amazing community software creators are helping us advance. So much learning and so much joy.
Couldn't agree more!
This looks like a game changer! Will be watching 🤗👏👏👏
It is!
Wow I will definitely have to try this.
Yes! It’s amazing!
I can’t wait for it to be available.
I know! Pins and needles! But it should only be a couple more weeks…

Feel free to pass my name along to do Zoom classes or to come in and teach for a weekend!

Yes! There are “marching ants” that you line up but it’s much clearer when it’s not on video.
Tee hee I love the sound of matching ants!
This is amazing! Can’t wait!
Can you tell us what top you are wearing?
Yes! That’s the Lotus Blossom from Love Notions. My afflink to it is: www.lovenotions.com/product/lotus-blossom-blouse?affiliates=940

So agree. She could have just opened up any other sewing file. Defeats the whole point of the video if you ask me
Do we know when this will be released?
About 3 weeks is his current plan…

I just use Google Drive with a lot of folders and well named files!
I use Google keep to keep a picture of the pattern, multiple tags to go quickly to princess seam patterns for example, or trousers, skirts etc.
You couldn’t use a pattern for this example that you didn’t need to blur? 🙄
