As I invest in some of the new and rather pricey software and the training that goes with it, I'm hoping to create better patterns for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the improvements you'll see coming up is what's known as a &#8216;layered PDF file'. In easy terms, this simply means that the different sizes are all within the same file but at the same time, they are separated onto different layers so you can choose to turn them on and off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a new pattern coming out for you tomorrow and this will be the first with the new layered PDF design so it's going to be helpful for me to show you how that works, as you might not have seen one before &#8211; and it's cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to print a layered PDF file<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Reader so you can take advantage of all the super-cool tools. If you need to upgrade, you can do so <a href=\"https:\/\/get.adobe.com\/reader\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then open your PDF file in Adobe Reader. Sometimes you can open a PDF file in your internet browser, but that might look ok on the screen, but usually, you'll end up with some problems when you print &#8211; so stick to opening the PDF with Adobe Reader for best results.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"836\" height=\"728\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/page-2.jpg\" alt=\"page 2\" class=\"wp-image-18061 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/page-2.jpg 836w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/page-2-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/page-2-500x435.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/page-2-768x669.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/page-2-150x131.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 836px) 100vw, 836px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 836px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 836\/728;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"836\" height=\"728\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/page-2.jpg\" alt=\"page 2\" class=\"wp-image-18061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/page-2.jpg 836w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/page-2-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/page-2-500x435.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/page-2-768x669.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/page-2-150x131.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 836px) 100vw, 836px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This is what the file looks like. We are looking at page 2 here so you can see all of the pattern lines for the different sizes. Now this pattern has a lot of sizes and where they overlap it can be pretty crazy and hard to follow your right size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that with this new improvement you can turn off the sizes you don't need to print and just see the size you need. This saves you eye strain and printer ink and just makes the whole thing a lot easier to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To select the layers you want to see and print, go over to the menu with little icons on the left-hand side here.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"479\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/layers.jpg\" alt=\"layers\" class=\"wp-image-18062 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/layers.jpg 550w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/layers-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/layers-500x435.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/layers-150x131.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 550px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 550\/479;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"479\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/layers.jpg\" alt=\"layers\" class=\"wp-image-18062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/layers.jpg 550w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/layers-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/layers-500x435.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/layers-150x131.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Pick the icon that looks like one sheet of paper on top of the other &#8211; that is the layers tool.
