In reply to Emily. That's odd that they don't have a mounting hole for the HY320. Thanks for the heads up!

Just fyi, the HY320 wired projector does not have a hole in the base for mounting. I’m still tempted by their claim of brighter light. So I might try and figure out how to rig it up to my ceiling anyway.

In reply to Joni. Hello! The Epson ultra short throw projectors are too large and heavy for the overhead tripods. But, they can be placed right on the table! If you want a "mount" for an ultra short throw projector, I've loved my rolling TV cart with a VERSA mounting plate and extension arms.

Hi Im wondering if the epson brightlink 475 wi ultra throw is good and if using the Overhead Tripod For DSLR Cameras, Heavy Duty… would be a way to set up my space?

Hello!
Yes, have a new document open on the canvas. This can be any size under 200″ x200″. This is where you will place all the images. 150″x150″ will give you plenty of space to work with.

When I open Affinity Designer and go to File, “Place” is grayed out and not an option I can choose. I notice that you already have something opened in Affinity Designer before you chose “Place” and selected your images. What should I “open” in AD before trying to place my images?

Thanks!

In reply to Colleen.

Hello!
Sorry it has taken a bit to get back to you. If you already have Adobe Illustrator, I’d go with that! Start learning the basic tools including the pen and node tool. Most of the tutorials are for Inkscape and Affinity Designer because they are free and low cost, compared to Adobe Illustrator. One of these programs (any vector graphics program will work) can modify the length of PDF patterns and you can save it for future use. You will need to lengthen each pattern individually, but you can save them to use again and again. Choose one program to learn. If you have Adobe Illustrator, than use that. If not, you can start with the free Inkscape.

The calibration programs PatternProjector.com and Project and Cut do not make pattern modifications and are for viewing patterns.

Hi there, thank you so much for the tutorials. I find them helpful. I have access to Adobe Illustrator, but in all the reading I have done people say it is cumbersome to learn. I don’t know if that is true. I have noticed that several people have a few tutorials on INKSCAPE, but not nearly to the depth of Affinity. I would like not to have to spend the money on this program, but is it worth it? Do you use one over the other for your normal sewing? Most of the time I need to adjust the length as I am taller than what the patterns were drafted for. I usually am in between sizes as well. My question is can you make these alterations at one time in INKSCAPE or in Affinity or for that matter Adobe? I didn’t see a tutorial on grading or adjusting length in INKSCAPE. The only one I have seen is done in two different steps. Also, the tutorials are 3 years old prior to the new version of INKSCAPE and Project and Cut and Pattern Projector. Would these programs also make a difference in how you might make adjustments since they project in the proper calibration? I would be very interested in your thoughts on all this. I am excited to get started.
