  I got one of the other patterns from the website and had the same problem- no photoshop, no print. You can dl a free 30 day trial of photoshop but I find it impossible to use. But my friend somehow turned it into a jpeg file which I then opened in paint. The you go into page set up and scale it to 100% before printing, and page size to A4. And then stick the sheets together. Hope that helps.

  Hi alisondahl Sorry to be a pain, but seriously this is the best sloper I could find on the net – is it possible to get this from you in a different format? I don’t have Adobe Photoshop. Thank you :)

  Holy poop! Thanks so much for this. I am a self taught sewer and a few of my friends that are educated in fashion design, and they all say that I need slopers, but never knew how to go about that. Thank you so much. Really, you have my gratitude for forever!

    Well I am glad there is such a great response, we’ve been talking about doing this forever. Also on my To-do list is to offer slopers & pattern blocks in a vast array of sizes;)

  From Ralph Pink of Fashion-Gorgeois on printing these patterns at home:

  -Open downloaded patterns Adobe Photoshop without changing the dimensions or resolution -Divide the page into A4 or A3 segments using the rulers, then with “snap on” you can select the individual pages -Copy and paste into another document then print that page. same for other pages. stick together with selotape and cut it out -All the patterns are editable in Adobe Illustrator -There is also a tutorial on how to edit and add custom seam allowance and how to produce your own custom basic blocks all on the site in the form of video tutorial (screen capture). You do need to know the basics of illustrator though!

  Thanks Ralph!

  Hi, I don’t know if this is the right place to place an “ad” for your website, but it looks interesting :) And thanks for the patterns !
