PDF Joining technique
Heres a method I use to join my PDF pattern pages.
  • Ensure theyre all to the correct scale using the test square. Each designer uses a similar method, either inches, centimetres, or both.
  • Stack the pages
  • Trim off the excess from the RIGHT HAND SIDE and the BOTTOM of all pages
  • Working from left to right, start at page one and line up page two.
  • The cut edge of page one will cover the margin on page two.
  • Use small pieces of tape
  • Once row 1 is complete, start row 2.
  • Again, the cut bottom edge of page one will cover the margin on the start of the second row.
  • Once all pages are joined, you can go over with a wide packing tape.
  • This is now your master pattern
  • For multi sized patterns (like this aline skirt) trace off the required size.
This short video shows the final row for the aline skirt pattern. (And explains why those last 5 pages are skinny)
Any problems let me know, I'll be on checking messages for the whole weekend ☺️
