    I spent $12 for a .pdf sunbonnet pattern. Opened it up in Windows reader. Taped pieces together, cut & sewed it - the fit was horrible! I thought it was a pattern flaw. Never thought it might be skewed by the .pdf reader program! Thanks for another informative video. I see your patterns are as user friendly as your video tuts. Excellent! I love this channel!

    This is helpful but what if i want to make a bag wider in depth? I have a bag I like but its only 3 inches wide in depth. i like the height and the width, just not the depth!

    • @SpencerOgg
      @SpencerOgg  2 года назад

      Just make the box corner wider - so if you want it 4" wide rather than 3" just stitch the box corner so the length of the little seam across the corner is 4". If you want to keep the height, add half of that increase to both front and back pattern pieces, so in this case 1/2" on each.

Of course for the life of me couldn't register why printing at 100% never printed accurately in the multiple programs I tried first :') you are a LIFESAVER I never thought to try opening it in an editor so I used Affinity Designer, took some tweaking but now I'm set!

      If you print everything (including your gusset) at your new larger chosen size it will all still fit together in the same relationship as it did in the original size :)

    Question please: When REDUCING are the seam allowances effected? If I shrink a pattern with an included 3/8” seam allowance, won’t the smaller pattern hv a narrower seam and how do we figure that? Thank you.
    EDIT: I apologize if this has already been asked but I don’t see it in the comments. Thanks again.

    • @SpencerOgg
      @SpencerOgg  2 года назад +2

      Yes It will shrink the seam allowance by the same percentage too - but its an incredibly small amount if you are just adjusting the size by a small amount (10-20%) - 20% reduction in a 3/8" seam allowance is just 5/64" - probably less than any SA user error in the original size pattern, so no need to worry about it unless you are literally increasing or decreasing the size by a huge amount.

    @justmep61 2 года назад +2

    Thank you so much for showing us how to increase and decrease patterns. It has really been helpful. The only thing I need to know now is, that once you resize, do you still use the original seam allowance as stated in the pattern?

    • @SpencerOgg
      @SpencerOgg  2 года назад

      You should really increase your seam allowance by the same % - so for example with a 20% increase you should take a 1.2cm SA rather than 1cm, but if you are just increasing by small percentages up to 20% it won't make a huge difference, but do amend if over 20%

    Hello, I'd like to share a complex pdf diagram within a video, but realize that most video editors don't allow import of .pdf as a media file. I use PowerDirector. I have to sort out what do do with a pdf to make it acceptable for my video editor. Now the most important part, how to allow for zooming in to some small area of the pdf to see the detail there. That is, not loosing all the resolution. PDF as a vector based format keeps sharp regardless of zooming in. Any help is appreciated. Example would be a parts diagram of a bicycle, or IKEA piece of furniture. I'd like to show that, then want to zoom in to a particular small area, like the rear hub/sprocket of the bike, and somehow still have reasonable resolution as I explain how that part of the bicycle works. Many thanks for any thoughts.

    • @SpencerOgg
      @SpencerOgg  2 года назад

      As I mentioned - I'm not an expert, but I would convert your PDF to JPEG and then upload to your video editor where you will then be able to zoom in. Ensure it is a really high resolution so you dont lose too much clarity once zoomed in. Hope that helps

    Hi Diane. I am trying to enlarge the clamshell sling to 120% but the Acrobat Reader poster button is shaded out, and I cannot select it! I am not sure why this happened since I was able to do that on another pattern of yours previously. Please help if you can. Thank you.

    • @SpencerOgg
      @SpencerOgg  Год назад

      Nothing on the pattern that would block you from doing it Sharon. It must be something to do with the settings of your paper/printer. Try with a different document to see what happens, and check the paper you have in the printer matches the paper size selected etc, if all else fails, update your print drivers and Adobe

One is “HP ENVY 5530 series” and the other is that along with parentheses that includes numbers and letters. If I pick the former, the button appears! If I pick the latter, it is shaded and cannot be selected. I knew that I had used your instructions before and that they worked so this was actually a simple fix once I saw that. Thanks for your quick response and for all the awesome tutorials, patterns, and wonderful advice. You are amazing! ❤

    Does it change the placement (height) of pockets when downsizing

    • @SpencerOgg
      @SpencerOgg  3 месяца назад

      In theory you should change everything by the same percentage - so if a pocket placement is 2" down from the top and you are printing your pattern at 80%, calculate 80% of 2" for new placement

Can i custom scale to 50% and duplicate the design on the same page? I'm not able to change it at design level as the design was purchased so i only have a pdf.

    • @SpencerOgg
      @SpencerOgg  Год назад

      You can definitely print at 50% but you would probably need to add 2 to the document to print in one go on the same page - but as an easy idea, why not just print it on the top half of your paper then turn the paper round and put it in again and reprint.

      You do need to open in Adobe Reader to be able to size patterns correctly, you can download for free - (including for ipads) at get.adobe.com/reader/
      I think it's only phones that the sizing function isnt available.

    No matter what i choose in Adobe, the text/columns prints wrong, too small, with a super large right margin (even if all margins are equal at 25 mm) and even if the preview shows FULL text & full columns nicely filling out the entire page. 100% or Actual size or Fit. Nothing works. Really annoying. At and this point, i wonder if it is a conflict with the actual printer settings.

    Lol I sure wish I had this wonderfully done tute.. YEARS AGO!! LOLOL I've learned these things done time ago but I've been recovering from a B.I. and there are days I simply cannot connect with the correct file in the ol filing cabinet 🤯 if you know what I mean soo I'm very excited to have a blessing like this stashed away for a quick reference when I cannot pull mine up. It's also very nice to know I don't need to worry about all that info filled away I can relax and know it's easy to access when needed. Let's face it the ol filing cabinet is rather packed full at this stage of the game. Hahaha Haha being OCD about remembering everything for everyone didn't help in the skeem of things 🤣😂

    This was very helpful, thank you. The only real problem I'm having is with HP, because of course HP messed something up. I had to scale a cosplay prop by 111% because I am significantly taller than the character, but HP not only didn't scale, not only didn't keep the cut lines, but has gaps towards the edge of the pages so it didn't even print the full pattern. The fact I have to download an unrelated application just to scale is already really annoying, but then HP resets it on top of that? Ugh.

    • @SpencerOgg
      @SpencerOgg  9 месяцев назад

      Always best to just open any pattern in Adobe reader - its the standard for scaling things correctly and should normally come pre-installed on all devices :)
