I use Inkscape to create my patterns. I’m doing my first project larger than 8.5x11 and I’m finding Inkscape doesn’t have a way to print on multiple pages. There is a work-around but it’s VERY clunky. So, I’m looking for recommendations. Preferably something that is open source or very cheap.

Good morning everybody! I’m working on a small bag about 8”x12” and need to learn how to figure how long the gusset has to be. I tried laying a waxed thread all the way around the side piece like the video showed but it came out way too long, like 2”. Sooo…..I’d like to get it closer the first time. The sew line will be 3 /16” from the edge so does that mean the dimensions are now 7-5/8”x11-5/8” ? That makes sense to me…. Any sound reliable advice will be greatly appreciated! HELP! Dano P.S. Thought I should say the panel will overlap the gusset, panel on top.

Hi I posted this and thought I make a thread for it here also, if anyone need it. Made a template for people who want to try to glue on card paper and use as templates. Standard size 115/75. 18-16, 20-18, 22-20 When you print it and measure to the fold line you will see that it's 1mm too short, the template is made for 1mm leather, and when folded it compensates for the fold. (So not a error in the drawing) I choose to not use a curve for the taper, because it's such a small taper it will both look curved and be curved when sanded. And it makes it easy to cut out templates after glued to card paper, because you can use a ruler for everything exce…

I'm hoping someone has had this problem and been able to fix it... I purchased two packages of patterns from BHD, and although the patterns look great, I'm having trouble printing them. The tutorial online clearly says that to ensure the pattern is the proper size, open the pattern in MS paint, set the print scale to 100%, and print. I'm using a MacBook, and I figured it shouldn't be too much different. I open the image, print it at 100% scale, and it comes out way too big! I know this because one of the belt pieces included in a pattern was stated as being 2" wide... and when I printed it at 100%, it was almost 3" wide. Other patterns seem too big printed at 80%... I d…
