Digitize YOUR Pattern into a pdf

Do you have a pattern that you've already drafted and would like it turned into a pdf to sell?

DIGITIZING SERVICE
$10 new pattern - flat fee
$25 formatting fee - adding sizes, your logo and other pattern text, grainlines, etc.
$5 per page -- so if your pattern is on 5 pages it would be $25
$5 per size -- so if your pattern includes 6 sizes it would be $30  (only applies to scanned patterns, not .svg patterns)

total = $10 + $25 + $30 = $65
**this is just an example ... total pricing would depend on how many sizes are on your pattern and how many pages it is.

$25 flat rate

You email me the scanned pattern pages, or a .svg and I return a professionally digitized pattern.
** Your pages MUST include something to indicate scale (something that can be measured.) To insure accuracy.

If you don't already have it scanned, you can mail the paper pattern to me and I can scan it for an additional fee of $1 per page ... if I need to trace it and then scan it, it will be an additional fee of $2.50 per page.

This would include adding YOUR logo on the pattern so that you could sell it on your site under your business name.

Open and Print your Pdf Sewing Patterns with Adobe Reader

Adobe Reader is available for FREE and can be downloaded HERE quickly and easily!

Adobe Reader is required to view files with the .pdf extension (portable document format).  Our patterns are formatted in .pdf format.  It is a universal in the way images and text are displayed.

PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Print pattern pieces at 100%.  Make sure that page scaling is set to "None"  (no re-sizing is necessary).

**NOTE:  some pattern pages may be landscape, make sure your printer settings are set to "Auto Rotate and Center" to eliminate page clipping.

Trim the margins from each piece of paper so that just the grid is left (each square should measure 1" x 1").  Join the pattern pieces together at the matching triangles and letters.  Cut out desired size along the corresponding line.
