FAQ

  • What is a pdf sewing pattern and how do I use one?
    A PDF sewing pattern is an electronic version of a sewing pattern which you can download and print on your home printer. You will need a PDF reader (such as Adobe Reader) to open the files. Yuzu and Pear patterns are generally tiled over 7″ by 10″ areas. This mean that you can safely print most of our patterns on A4 or letter sized paper. Please ensure that your printer settings are set to 100%, NO SCALING or ACTUAL SIZE. You should also check against the 4cm and 1” test squares on the pattern to ensure the pattern has been printed in the intended size before cutting your fabric. Once you have printed all the pattern sheets, you will need to assembly the pattern pieces by sticking them together. Instructions on how to do so are provided in each pattern. If you have any trouble printing or assembling your pattern, please contact us at admin@yuzuandpear.com and we will do our best to assist you.
