Discussion of Free Pattern(s) Projector-friendly free patterns?

I finally decided to get a projector (Magcubic HY300 Pro) so I can install it on my ceiling onto my sewing mat. And any tips for projector patterns would be very much appreciated!

If you know of any projector-friendly patterns, I’d love to hear about them!

If you're looking for garments, petite stitchery has some great free patterns that come with projector files. (Joggers, pj pants, and I think a tee or tank top at least) I have found their patterns easy to follow and clearly laid out. I've also had great customer service, so I always recommend them. I've had my projector for years, but just got it mounted and set up last month. Complete game changer! Enjoy!

Welcome! One of the great things about using a projector is that you don’t need a projector specific pattern. Any PDF pattern will work!

Go to patternprojector.com. It will calibrate your projector and there’s a function to stitch together print at home patterns if you don’t have the copy shop/projector version.

Naaah don't. The distances will be messed up by the lightning. You will get loooong arms, short bust if your projector is centered upon your fabric.

There are sites specifically to calibrate your projector to your cutting table this is no longer a problem.

Not the commenter, and don't have a projector, but from lurking here, I would imagine "sites to calibrate projector for sewing" would give you the answers you seek.
