We strongly recommend downloading to a laptop or desktop computer. When you click a link, your computer will automatically download the file. Check your ‘Downloads’ folder if you can’t see it. If you’re having trouble downloading files to an iPad, read through
these tips.
If you’re printing the pattern on a home printer, select and download the necessary files named ‘Print-At-Home’. If you wish to have the actual size version printed at a copy shop, download the sheet/s named ‘Actual Size - Copy Shop’.
Always print the test square page first to check you’ve got the print scale correct. Make sure you’ve set your file to print at 100% (or actual size). On some very rare occasions, printers won’t print to scale even when set to 100%. If this is the case, we recommend you send it to a copy shop.

We cannot provide additional download links for lost or deleted files after these 5 downloads have been used up.

We do our very best to photograph and represent our fabrics with colour accuracy however colours may appear differently depending on your device/monitor. If unsure and to avoid disappointment, we strongly recommend purchasing a $1 fabric sample. To do this, select the ‘Order $1 Swatch’ button on the product page. If you can’t see this button it means that we don’t cut samples on that particular fabric e.g. bridal/beaded laces, panel pieces etc. If you would like to purchase our minimum cut (10cm), please email or contact our Surry Hills store on 02) 9211 5536 to enquire.
