I just want to say, right up front, THANK YOU for taking the time away from your busy life to help others find their way through this crazy, wonderful new way of dealing with online patterns.
Your tutorials are so helpful for so many! A tip - you can double click to complete a connected line too, saves right clicking and then selecting complete. You can also trace in one PDF, then copy the shape and ‘paste’ into a different PDF if you’re mashing pattern elements together. Thanks again!
I bought the projector. Got it calibrated. Chose a pattern & downloaded it. And was then stuck. Thanks so much for your clear instructions on how to use Adobe. Now I can move to the next step!
@@DaileySewsStuff Only disappointment is that Pattern Emporium has apparently blocked me from using the Adobe editing tools. Is this common? So...I've been watching your videos on PDF Stitcher & Affinity Designer which I just downloaded. What an adventure this is. Thanks for being my guide!
Sweet babe Jesus can I get an Alleluia!!! Dailey you are amazing! 👏 I am a teacher but I'm Dyslexic. I am a visual learning and not having reams to read is a game changer for me. I'm also a Mum and have a few autoimmune diseases so time and easy of use are so so important to me. Thank you for doing this!!
@@DaileySewsStuff You come across like the sweetest chirpiest person so you deserve it. Your patience astounds me! Bula bòs to you (A clap in Irish ;) )
I have a few patterns where I've printed out the instructions and made notes on them for various reasons (like "don't forget to REPEAT on the other leg!") and thought to myself, isn't it a pity that I can't add those notes directly to the PDF? What if I can't find my original print out? Now I'm sitting here wondering why I never knew about the comment feature. Something new learned today!
How do you change the color of the pattern lines? I have a pattern that the lines are a light color and difficult to see when projecting the pattern. I want to change it to red. Please help.
You can use PDF Stitcher for that! You can increase the size of the lines and change the color. This video shows you how: ruclips.net/video/OyGQQi4WRRU/видео.html
You won’t see the whole pattern at once when correctly zoomed, most likely. And yes the zoom is changed on Adobe for the scale of your pattern. If you mean the projected image isn’t big enough, that can’t be changed with zoom.
Both are absolutely necessary! And both are free! This video is about Adobe DC. PDF Stitcher is another video series. Now, If you’re asking about Adobe Illustrator, I personally wouldn’t spend the money on that. I’d get Affinity Designer for those purposes. Or Inkscape.
Love watching your videos. Very imformative. Question I did some changes and saved the file but when I bring it back up there were no changes. What am I doing wrong?
I know we chatted on Facebook, but wanting to put the answer here, too, in case it helps someone else! Be sure you tell it "yes" when it asks if you're sure you want to save. Some designers don't let you save. Sometimes running through the PDF Stitcher first helps. If neither of those are the problem, do some tests with random marks to figure it out before you do something with a lot of work! I'm not sure what else the issue could be but I am certain it can be solved. Ask in the Projectors group or on my Dailey Sews & Stuff facebook page and we can try to figure it out!
I tried the free trial of Adobe desktop version for the 7days. Now it's not free and can get it without the monthly free of 14.99. So really don't want to pay that much month. I need it for all my pattern adjustments for the projector file. I needed to connect the dots with the drawing tool.
I checked to make sure I am using Adobe Reader DC. I want to change to projecting darker lines. I go into preferences and click on Use high contrast color and Black on White, click ok; but the projected pattern remains dashed light green lines. Suggestions? I need darker projection. If it matters, this is a Love Notions projector file. Thank you for an excellent tutorial! I will be watching again.
I would adjust the projector a bit, turn down the brightness (or turn up if that doesn’t help), make the contrast less and then more, see if that helps at all. You could also trace the pattern with connected lines to get a dark, thicker line. But I usually just work with what I’ve got. A sheet of white paper on your fabric, pulled along in front of your rotary blade, makes a great quick fix. If you really want to change the lines, that’s probably an Inkscape thing. I don’t have any Inkscape tutorials but @SunnyMountainPatterns has a basics class and both Marta and Nicole (in the Projectors for sewing group) have Inkscape tutorials.
@@DaileySewsStuff this is the bit I need too! My room is bright when we have a sunny day. When you print you have the option to print in black and white. It would be really helpful to be able to do this with the pattern. I`ll play with brightness and contrast then I`l try highlightng/tracing over the line. Thank you for a really helpful video, I`m new to using a projector but I`m already in love with it.

I hadn’t tried copying across PDFs, what a great tip! And double clicking as well! Thank you so much for that!
Thank you so much for this info, also the details very useful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank goodness you are using a Windows OS. Love this video.
Thank you! Glad it helped!
Thank you for your very very clear instructions. I was really wanting to know ALL this!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
Amazing tutorial and yes got all my questions answered. I will be watching the rest of you videos thanks a bunch...
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! You make everything so clear.
Thank you for such kind words!
What a great tutorial. I really needed this as I've been fumbling along in Adobe for quite some time. Thank you for doing this.
Of course! I'm glad it was helpful. I'm embarrassed that it took so long to dawn on me that it would be helpful!
You absolute star. X
Thank you! 😍
Thanks for such a comprehensive tutorial on Adobe. You're really appreciated :-)
I really appreciate comments like this. Thank you!
Thanks soooo much!
I’m glad it helped!
You are SO AMAZING! Love your videos.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video. I thought I had to purchase. 😍
So glad it was helpful! They do a really good job trying to convince you that you have to purchase but you don’t!
Thank you it was very helpful.

@@jaymieupton4635 it is true of a few designers but not super common. Very frustrating though! A trip through PDF Stitcher might be helpful.
Great videos but please remember that "Adobe" is the company name, Acrobat or Reader are the products you will use.
Very true. Colloquially, we pretty much all call it “Adobe” but that is the company and not the product.
Great video!! This helps me sooo much😍
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much!!!! This helped so muchM
I'm so glad!

Yes so much easier to just save it on the PDF!

When I project do I zoom in on adobe? Because then my pattern doesn’t fit the page and I can’t see the whole thing
You won’t see the whole pattern at once when correctly zoomed, most likely. And yes the zoom is changed on Adobe for the scale of your pattern.
If you mean the projected image isn’t big enough, that can’t be changed with zoom.
I still have a lot of research to do, but in YOUR OPINION, which do you prefer: PDF Stitcher or Adobe DC?

@@DaileySewsStuff I tried a different p4p pattern and it worked perfect. Thanks again for all your help
I am using a Mac but its not showing my the layer icon.. any tips ?
I’ve heard there’s a new version that has it on the right side.
Also make sure you’ve got the right program downloaded. Links in the description box.
I’m having a hard time finding the video on here how to download pattern ? Can you help me please !
Thank you so much
Maybe this one? ruclips.net/video/ghGLkiAAkGE/видео.html

If those don’t help, let me know and I’ll see what else I can do!

There’s no need to use the paid version. The one I show in this video and use all the time is the free version.
