Check out the description box for an edit. The wonderful thing about these new programs is that the designers are listening to what we want and need and quickly updating the programs. The downside of that is videos are out of date by the time they are posted. 🤦♀️ Courtney contacted me today to say she has already updated Pattern Projector to work offline and to save your calibration within the same browser! It just hammers home my main point-try both programs and see which you prefer!
Thank you for the review! Pattern Projector is a Progressive Web App that can be installed and used offline. Also, it saves your calibration locally to your device so you shouldn't need to recalibrate on the same device/browser :)
Thank you for a great comparison. I have used Pattern Projector and am really impressed with the ease of use. I will try Project and Cut next week when on holidays. Thanks again from Australia.
Great comparison of the two programs. I haven’t tried either but will now go ahead and give them both a try and thank you for taking the time to help. Thanks also for the designers for developing such great software solutions. X
I’m just starting this adventure of projector sewing. I’m still waiting on my mount before I can get started. Thank you for helping clarify some things. Have a great day.
While I have a Mac, I do everything from my iPad Pro. I started on this journey due to wanting to design clothing in bed at night. That lead me down a rabbit hole that ended with projectors. I purchased an Epson ultras short throw and calibrated on the pattern projector. It has everything I’ll need and some more due to the portability of my iPad Pro..
Thank you, I had asked this very question in Projectors for Sewing the other day (having also watched both interviews etc etc). This was very helpful! Thank you!
Hallo from germany. Thanks for all the info! Just yesterday found FB page projector sewists by accident and got so exited that today I ordered my first projector. After that I looked for the programms to use . So I luckily found your video , just perfect. Now I hope that I can manage it. Thanks a lot.
Great overview of both and very exciting to be able to try these as a new to projector sewist. Quick question - is there a recommended cutting mat size for calibrating? I have large 34 x 46 inch and smaller 22x 34 inch. I was finding it difficult to calibrate on the large mat - (using pattern projector from my laptop next to the projector). Will be trying Project and Cut today. Thankyou so much for the wisdom and knowledge you share on this channel.
I will always recommend calibrating to at least a 16x24” box and the bigger your box, the better your accuracy. That said, your smaller mat is definitely big enough to calibrate to!
@@DaileySewsStuff thankyou... I ended up going for 41 x 25 inch on the bigger mat. I'm so thrilled with the support offered and how I am now able to quickly check calibration, open the file and turn off the sizes/layers not needed and be ready to cut. Moving the image, flip and rotate is also brilliant. Very excited by this. I used Project and Cut for today's project, PE Urban pants and Lounge Dress (projector files). We are rural and rely on mobile internet...so this works well. Thankyou again for all the wonderful information provided.
I’ve been using the project & cut app and like it very much. But then in the FB group I read that Pattern Projector gives capability to do pattern alterations with an iPad (and I did watch this video but that fact went right over my head at the time!) … so now I want to try it. It’s hard for me to draw lines between pattern sizes using a mouse, so I think I might be the person who goes back and forth between these two programs. Gotta try Pattern Projector, but it has to wait till I get my projecting/cutting table back for my use (long story). Thank you so much for this video. I saved it for future reference. Also, I’ll look in your videos for digital pattern modification know-how.
You need a vector program to trace the physical pattern and make it a digital one. Then you can project it just like any other digital pattern with one of these!
@@DaileySewsStuff so if I use adobe illustrator I would have it open on my projector in my cutting mat and trace it out? How would I know the scale? Would I have to manually calibrate the projector
@@33ttpat10 that’s one way, for sure! Yes, manually calibrate your projector and trace in a vector program. Or you can use a photograph with a scale and do it that way.

@@DaileySewsStuff Thank you for all the videos you've made to help people with projector sewing!

Glad it was helpful!
what did you find about the difference between the two programs? trying to decide which way to go
Great comparison of the two programs. I haven’t tried either but will now go ahead and give them both a try and thank you for taking the time to help. Thanks also for the designers for developing such great software solutions. X
Glad it was helpful! I’m forever impressed with the ingenuity of my fellow projector sewists!!!
I’m just starting this adventure of projector sewing. I’m still waiting on my mount before I can get started. Thank you for helping clarify some things. Have a great day.
Good luck! Either of these programs will make calibration a breeze!

Yes, if you’re on mobile, Pattern Projector is the perfect solution!

Thanks for a great comparison. I just purchased a mini projector and look forward to trying both of these after I get it set up.
Yay! Congrats!

You are joining this movement at the perfect time with these two great software options!
You are amazing as always. Thank you for all of your hard work and keeping us up-to-date.
Thank you for the kind words!

Hi there, love the video! do you have a suggestion on how to make a physical pattern in to a digital pattern using this software?

@@DaileySewsStuff oh that sounds much easier! I will try that. Do know of any videos that show this process at all?
@@33ttpat10I know they are out there but don’t know off hand who has made them.
Super helpful! Thank you!
