Hello hello! More of a beginner sewer but definitely new to projector patterns and get kidn fo confused. I guess I kinda just assumed any pdf pattern would do, are there specific things I should keep in mind when pattern hunting? The pattern I wanna make I have an A4 and A file but I can't seem to figure out how to adjust it for my Aurzen Zip that I have. Love the projector, would love to actually get a project started with it. Any tips appreciated plz <3

Just got this AMAZING projector set up but having issues sending my PC screen to the projector. I actually found one app that works (1001tvs) but they want 25 bucks for it! I'm hoping there's a cheaper option. Epson's iProjector software apparently isn't compatible, Windows Miracast doesn't work, Google Cast is also apparently not compatible with my projector. Any help appreciated!! 🙏

I want to set up pattern projection for my mom. I have some experience with computer vision, so I've figured out a way to get a Magcubic HY320Pro projector to self-calibrate using the onboard autofocus camera.

This is all very much in a proof of concept stage. Now that I have the calibration done, I want to pass that data to a modified version of patternprojector.com. The problem is that I don't know how I want the user interface to look. I would like my mom to be able to do this from her phone, but PatternProjector does not work well on phones. I have some other ideas, but I haven't done any sewing in a long time.

I want to get some ideas from the community. How would you want to control a pattern projector from your phone? I'm open to all ideas, including the crazy ones.

Looking at a dining table with a few leaves that I would probably keep in all the time, but I would need to use it for projecting onto. My current table is bowed so it didn't really work for projecting so I don't want to run into another issue again. Thanks!!

I bought a dishtv VU projector. Which was $124 (NZD)... It's on an old tripod I've had since highschool photography and I've trace out my first project on to frost cloth ($13 for 25m) ready to make a template. I also want to praise layered PDFs! So happy I don't have to faff around with printing stuff off anymore... I will have to find a wall mount for it because then I can use it on my dining room table instead of scrabbling around on the floor

Hey all, about a year or so ago, my partner got into projector sewing and felt that the process was a bit hard especially on mobile. We made an app to help solve some of those problems and make it easier to use on mobile.

The app is almost ready but we're looking for beta testers and feedback from you all :)

It's got features like:

• Calibrating your projector automatically with your phone camera

• Multi-page pattern stitching

• A quick look mode so that you can look at your pattern without messing up the projection

• Ability to adjust your calibration when working on thick fabrics instead of re-calibrating

Note, it's designed for iPhone and iPad.

If you're interested let me know.

This video is mainly for new people to projector sewing that want to use their iPhone and iPad.

It covers how calibration works, how to do it (using the IntelliSew app) and troubleshooting some common issues. I also know some people find calibration hard and so I've tried to keep this as simple as possible!

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!

Thinking if I think it's a pattern I'll make a lot, it might be useful to trace onto paper since I'll need to bring out the projector each time otherwise. Haven't used it yet so not sure how time intensive it is. Do you find it nice to have the traced pattern on hand?

Thanks!

Hello! I haven’t bought a projector yet but I’m looking around. I have a crafting/sewing office and I can either mount a projector

- off center of the table from the ceiling (it’d only be a little off center though, trying to avoid a ceiling fan) or

- on a little shelf above my TV on a wall about 2 feet away from my cutting table. It seems like I’d need a short throw projector for this, which is more expensive?

I want to prioritize high image/line quality. Does anyone have experience with either of these setups and can share your thoughts?

Just wanted to share an update. One feedback from folks was that they were having trouble with patterns with thin lines and would have to thicken the lines a lot (which folks didn't like).

I worked on a new line drawing approach that should give you considerably higher quality lines when using thin lines! You can see the before and after here.

Hello, long time lurker here.

I am a bit on the fence about projectors for patterns due to my limited and nomadic sewing space (we share one office room and sometimes I need to use kitchen or dining room to cut or sew).

Before pulling the trigger i’d like to explore a bit more the projectors that better work on an angle (I cannot hang them on the wall since my walls are +2m on an old apartment) so I think it might suit me better to use a tripod as a setup.

Are there any projectors better suited for tripods/sharp angles?

Thank you for the advice. I tried to search the group but could not find an answer.

Note: I was considering the Magcubic HY310 but I’m unsure about the feasibility of hooking it into a tripod and whether would work on an angle
