🖨 PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS
All patterns are designed for standard US Letter paper.
Print at 100% (actual size) to obtain the intended finished dimensions.
If printing on A4 instead of US Letter, the final output will be reduced to approximately 97.7% of the intended dimensions. No manual scaling to 97.7% is required.
Larger sizes require additional printed pages, paper assembly, and workspace.
📐 RESIZING
30×30": Further reduction is not recommended, as some pieces are already compact, particularly around the eyes and facial details.
50×50" and 70×70": These versions can be reduced using:
(Desired size ÷ Pattern size) × 100 = Print percentage
For example, reducing a 50×50" pattern to 40×40" requires printing at 80%.
All pieces and seam allowances decrease proportionally. The finished dimensions are determined by the sewing lines, and significant reductions may make detailed pieces harder to sew.
Choose the available size closest to your intended dimensions whenever possible. Enlargement beyond 100% is not recommended.
🎯 SKILL LEVEL
Intermediate – Previous FPP experience recommended.
Suitable for confident beginners familiar with Foundation Paper Piecing and experienced quilters who enjoy detailed geometric portraits.
-
30×30": Smaller pieces require precision, careful fabric positioning, and good lighting. Fewer printed pages and easier workspace management.
-
50×50": More comfortable piece sizes, with additional space needed for preparing and organizing sections.
-
70×70": Generous pieces make detailed sewing easier, but require more paper preparation, taping, and workspace.
