What is Projector Sewing?
Projector sewing is simply projecting your sewing pattern directly onto the fabric for cutting.
Projector sewing is an evolution of using print-at-home patterns for the modern sewist.
In the past, most home sewist would buy digital print-at-home patterns. After printing the pattern at home (sometimes 40+ pages long), the pages would be aligned and attached together.
This can be rather time consuming. A group of sewists discovered in 2019 that by projecting an A0 pattern file using a projector pointing straight down, you could project a pattern directly onto the fabric, skipping the printing and attaching step!
Today, many pattern companies offer “Projector Files” of their patterns. These files are typically optimized for projecting using layered pattern files on one complete file.
