In this masterclass, The Fold Line talk all things copy shop printing, which is quickly becoming sewists’ favourite way to print PDF patterns
COPY SHOP PRINTING

What is copy shop printing? It's no secret that in recent years there has been an explosion of PDF sewing patterns from new independent designers around the world. There is no better feeling than being able to instantly purchase a sewing pattern and start sewing straight away. The downside to this is that you'll probably end up spending a couple of hours taping or sticking together all the A4 paper sheets and then cutting out the pattern pieces. This can be anything from a few paper sheets for a pair of knickers to over 60 sheets for a full-length coat. For many of us, this isn't the fun part of a new sewing project. But fear not, there is an alternative, welcome to the joy of copy shop printing! Copy shop printing is the best of both worlds.

You'll receive the PDF pattern instantly and can start to plan your project by collecting all your supplies together, and then a day or two later a printed A0 sheet version of the PDF pattern arrives in the post. The pattern is printed out on a large-scale industrial copy shop printer and posted to you. Unlike A4 PDF pattern files, A0/ copy shop pattern files are much larger, and they can fit many more pattern pieces onto them.
