How do I print at the right size?
Choose A4 or US Letter, download the PDF and print at 100% or actual size. Turn off “fit to page”. Measure the 50 mm check with a ruler before you transfer anything to cloth. Larger designs include numbered tiles and an assembly overview.
Can I use my own materials?
Yes. Every tool and download is free to use with materials you already have. Shop suggestions are optional. Test your thread, needle and any marking method on a small piece of the actual cloth first.
