Software Programs You Need for Projecting Your Sewing Patterns

Through the wonderful collaboration of the many members of the Projectors for Sewing Facebook group, we’ve learned which programs work best (and new programs have even been written!) for different devices and different needs. The group also helped me to create the graphic and flowchart that became the basis for this video. Watch to see which programs are necessary, which are highly recommended (all free programs!) and which ones are completely optional. I'll also show you the flowchart I (mentally) use when opening a new pattern and take a pattern through those initial steps.
