Hi there,
Thanks for visiting On the Cutting Floor today!
I am glad to present my first pattern made using Patternmaker USA.
I was very pleased with the results of the software. It, not only, has given a more professional look to the patterns, but it has also speeded up the process by about 4 times!

I used a medium weight, quilted knit.
The pattern will work well with stretch woven and knit stretch fabrics.
These are some ideas for quilted knit fabrics:

PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS
The pattern comes in letter and A4 format. Both will print 16 pages total. The pages DO NOT OVERLAP. Please notice that there will be differences from printer to printer.
Remember to check the ”actual size” printing option:
Please print all pages and place them as shown in the following printing layout:
This patterns comes with specific marks to put the pieces together:
The circle with a cross is the symbol to help you to put the pages together. Each page has a quarter of the circle on each corner. When the pages are aligned correctly, it will form the circle with the cross.
The pages also has a note on the left bottom, identifying the name of the pattern, the column and the row the page is form. Just as a reminder, the rows are horizontal and the columns are vertical.
The tabs and notches symbols are explained on the first page of the pattern document. The second page contains a 4”X4” square test to check that the printer is working properly.
Here you will redirect to my shop to download the pattern for free. The tutorial is added to the end of this post. Enjoy!
