There is always a test square on this. This is used to check whether the print was made to the correct scale. To do this, use a ruler to measure the length and width of the square. Both sides must be exactly 10 cm long. If this is the case, print the remaining pages as well.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Printer_settings\"><\/span>2.

Sets the scale to &#8220;original&#8221;, &#8220;actual size&#8221; or &#8220;scale: 100 %&#8221;. Different terms are used here depending on the printer model and manufacturer.

You will always find the information on this in the labeling of a pattern piece in the 5th line &#8211; on the right hand side written in capital letters (see colored marking in the magnifying glass). This means that you sort all pieces with the same description, e.g. MAIN FABRIC, INTERFACING, TEMPLATE etc., into one stack. Depending on the chosen pattern, there may be different materials. However, every model has at least one MAIN FABRIC.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out how to cut the fabric <a
