For or just for the convenience you can print our patterns in A0 format at a copyshop. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of printing digital sewing patterns in A0 format, including a tip about printing permissions you might need to show due to copyrights.
Step 1: Download Your Digital Sewing Pattern
Before you can print your sewing pattern in A0 format, you need to download the A0 pattern file. Please go through the tutorial to decided which height you need to choose. Go to My Account >> My downloadable patterns and choose the pattern you would like to print. Open A0 folder and choose the file with your height. Click the file to download the pattern. You will also find a Permissions file, download it as well just in case.
Step 2: Locate an A0 Printer
To print your pattern in A0 format, you'll need access to a printer that can handle larger paper sizes, specifically A0 (841mm x 1189mm or 33.1" x 46.8"). Many copyshops and print centers have A0 printers available for use. Please find a list of onlice Copyshops at the end of this article.
Step 3: Prepare Your Pattern for Printing
Open the digital sewing pattern file on your computer and navigate to the page that contains the A0 pattern sheet. This sheet is typically labeled as such or may be found at the end of the pattern. Make sure you have the correct page ready for printing.
Step 5: Visit the Copyshop
Now that you have your pattern file and printing permission (if required), head to the copyshop with your digital pattern file saved on a portable storage device, such as a USB drive. When you arrive at the copyshop, explain that you need to print your sewing pattern in A0 format. Make sure to check prices before printing.
Step 6: Print Your Pattern
Provide the A0 pattern file to the copyshop staff and let them know the number of copies you need. They will load the A0-sized paper into the printer and print your pattern accordingly. Ensure that the scaling option is set to 100% to maintain the pattern's original size.
Step 7: Review and Pay
Once the printing is complete, carefully inspect the printed pattern sheet to ensure that it is clear and accurate. Check that the size and scaling are correct, and that there are no missing pages. If everything looks good, proceed to pay for the printing service.
Step 8: Collect Your Printed Pattern
After payment, the copyshop staff will provide you with the printed A0 pattern sheet(s). Be sure to keep these in a safe place and handle them with care to prevent any damage during transport.
Step 9: Begin Your Sewing Project
With your printed A0 sewing pattern in hand, you're now ready to embark on your sewing project. Follow the pattern instructions and enjoy the convenience of having a large, clear pattern sheet that's easy to work with.
Happy sewing!
