Understanding Your Sewing Pattern | Mood Fabrics Beginner Sewing Course (Part 4)

I've noticed that the Mood Square is scattered throughout the pattern pieces. When I print the first page, it measures 2 inches, on later pages it is bigger (with the same printer settings). Should it be 2 inches in all occurrences?

how do you find the notches

So when I print out the first page, it is always measuring at 1 15/16 inches and not the full 2 inches. This happens no matter what printer I use. No matter if I use my desktop computer or my laptop or my IPhone. I ALWAYS check the settings to make sure that everything is correct and on portrait and actual size. I am beyond frustrated because I have tried downloading 3 or 4 of the wonderful Mood patterns. But I can’t even get started on any of them. I’m also thinking that I might have a printer print out the pattern in its entirety. Mostly because the Winterberry Cape has 65 pages to print out. That’s a lot of ink and paper. And I am charged per sheet after 20 per month (Part of HP printer). So that means I would have to pay more to print it off at home than to send it out. Please advise me how to proceed as I LOVE MOOD so much!!!! The most beautiful fabrics I’ve ever seen, interesting patterns, great designs and great logistics!

Hey! So sorry to hear that you are having printing issues. If the guide is not measuring two inches when you print, you can try changing the scale. To do this when you go to print, you may have to click the "more settings" drop down menu and scroll down to scale. I sometimes need to print at 104% scale for the guide to measure two inches. Hope this helps!
