Let's Set Up My Projector for Sewing! 

Using the Squares & Rectangles calibration grid from Projectors for Sewing FB page is even easier than the grid you used. The Squares & Rectangles file is right above the one you selected. I downloaded it and keep it saved in Adobe Reader so I can occasionally open it and double check to make sure my I'm still accurate. Remember, if Adobe Reader does an update, you must open the calibration grid and check to make sure your Zoom % doesn't need to change. My has changed incrementally with some updates. It's super easy to adjust the zoom percentage when you open the calibration grid in Adobe.

Thank you. Just what I needed!

Finally, someone who’s willing to record the frustrations and imperfections of projector sewing. Thank you so much for this video!! By you recording this, it has inspired me to tackle the project - AGAIN. For a while, I thought there was something wrong with me because I couldn’t understand how to put the darn projector together… and the CALIBRATING!! Giirrrrrl… I was pulling out my hair…If more sewist can explain that it’s not necessary to get it perfectly calibrated AND it won’t make a huge difference on the pattern, then maybe it won’t scare or frustrate a lot of us. Thank you again! If you can please save this and any future projector sewing to a playlist, that would be very helpful. God bless you and your clever, curious, determined mind💕🙏🏻

Congratulations. Great job.

Girrrrl!! Thank you so much for this video! I’ve had this same projector for about a year, got it the same way you did, I have not had the courage to get it on a stand. I’m going to follow your example here. I’ve been waiting for this!! I too tried a ceiling projector and got so frustrated. You had me cracking up with your screws and such falling to the ground and around the table, it’s so me!! Your instruction, though, is golden!! Thanks again 😘 🪡

Dianna, I watch your sew alongs all the time. Since you use the E&M patterns, I have often wondered for a long time why you haven't yet converted to projector sewing. So excited and glad for you. I can't wait to watch you on this new journey. I have my mini projector mounted on my ceiling for a while now. I just have to get going with this myself.

I am holding my breath as I also purchased the same projector from Ebay. I am looking forward to cutting my paterns w/o printing, gluing and waisting paper. Hallelujah

Hello again! I just figured it out! The style arc dress with interesting sleeve was made long ago by Tiana's Closet! I found it! Sorry to bother you! ❤❤❤

I’m still new to sewing but have you made any fitting adjustments on this? Don’t know if FBA or other changes are challenging. Thanks for the tutorial & many happy sewing days ahead. 💐🎉

Diana how are you able to print the layers in adobe on a Mac I could not figure it out for the life of me. I know now with the projector you won’t need to print but I’m still intimidated I also bought a ceiling mount now to mentally say I wasted my money and buy a table mount is my next project.
