We are very aware of the fact that printing patterns at home can be very draining to the old paper and ink supply. We always try to do our best to keep pages to a minimum, and maximized the space on each page.

A4 size

A4 size is used in many countries (88 of 148 countries) except US, Canada and countries listed below.

'Letter' size

United States, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic and the Philippines.

A0 size

Printing your pattern on large paper (A0) at your local copy shop.

For some, the idea of printing and assembling multiple pages of A4/US letter paper is more than a little bit tedious, especially when it comes to maxi dress patterns... Yabbey's 'A0 file' is to print your pattern intact on large sheets of a few sheets of paper, simply locate your nearest copyshop or printers, and email them the 'A0' files that come with your PDF sewing pattern (alternatively you could take the files in on a flash drive). They'll need to be able to print on A4 paper (33 x 46 in. / 841 x 1189 mm).

No trimming, no sticking, no mess, no fuss.

How to Print at Home

1. Select File > Print

Hint: If you have Acrobat Reader, you can print only the size you need by unchecking size layers you do not need by selecting the layer icons on the left . Leave base layers checked.

2. On the print dialog box, select the printer you want to print from. Select “Actual Size”or “Scale 100%.”

3. If you wish, test print first page only and measure metric / imperial ruler to confirm printout did not change scale.

4. Print remaining pages.

5. You can also print from your phone if your printer is connected to the same wifi network.
