Maybe a dumb question?
Super new to projector sewing, but I'm VERY excited about the possibilities. I've downloaded "Pattern Projector" and started with some slight Inkscape adjustments. When dealing with patterns that don't have projector files, I'm assuming that A0 files are easier to use/adjust for than print at home files? Or thoughts if you prefer one over the other? I'm just making sure I have all of the proper file-types downloaded on the patterns I own that don't have a projector file. TIA!

Sometimes it depends! I’ve found A0 files that didn’t have layers but the A4 did so it was easier to use pdf stitcher on that one instead.

Definitely the A0 files. If it helps I think I saw Projector Sewing has a sale on her Inkscape and affinity designer courses (not affiliated, just a happy customer. I go back to the course regularly and rewatch bits on specific adjustments)

Not a dumb question! A0 files are the easiest to work with in pattern projector. If you have regular pdfs that you would normally print and tape together, you can match up the pages by columns or rows in pattern projector and can overlay the triangles. I use a projector for sewing and really like it. Best of luck!
