  • Complete FPP Blank — US Letter

.

🖨️ PRINTING & FILE FORMAT

  • 30 × 30 inches: the US Letter Color and complete Blank PDFs each contain 28 pattern pages plus 1 reference page.
  • 50 × 50 inches: 81 Color pattern pages in US Letter or 15 in A2. Each PDF also contains 1 reference page and 1 Blank appendix page for sections E and AY.
  • 70 × 70 inches: 140 Color pattern pages plus 2 reference and index pages in US Letter, or 29 Color pattern pages plus 1 reference page in A2.

Color pattern page counts exclude reference and index pages and the Blank appendix. Where both formats are supplied, US Letter and A2 produce the same finished dimensions. A2 requires a compatible printer or print service.

Print at 100% / Actual Size with Fit to Page and automatic scaling turned off. Check the scale square before printing the full pattern. An automatic fit setting on A4 may reduce the US Letter pattern to about 97.7% of its original size.

.

📐 CHOOSING YOUR SIZE

The 30 × 30-inch version gives you a compact portrait and the fewest US Letter sheets to prepare. The larger sizes give you more room within the pieces and take more time and workspace to assemble on paper, especially in US Letter.

.

🧵 SEWING NOTES

  • 30 × 30 inches: small pieces around the eyelids and mouth take a little extra care where seam allowances overlap. Use the complete Blank file for a clear view of the sewing lines in those areas.
  • 50 × 50 inches: allow time to sort and glue the printed sheets into paper sections before sewing. This takes less work than in the 70 × 70-inch version. A2 reduces the Color pattern from 81 pages to 15. Use the appended Blank references for a clearer view of the sewing lines in sections E and AY.
  • 70 × 70 inches: this size takes the most patience to prepare in US Letter. Allow time and workspace to lay out and join the 140 Color pattern pages into paper sections before sewing. Use the index to find the pages for each section. If you can print in A2, the 29-page Color pattern means fewer sheets to sort and join.

🧶 FABRIC REQUIREMENTS

Check the fabric requirements for your selected size in the product images before purchasing.

📉 RESIZING

For a smaller version, calculate the print percentage using (Desired size ÷ Purchased pattern size) × 100. Apply the same percentage to both axes. Printing the 50 × 50-inch version at 80% produces a 40 × 40-inch pattern.

Reducing the scale makes the pieces and printed seam allowances smaller. Check a test print before printing the full pattern. For a larger project, choose a larger offered size if available.
