Shorten or Lengthen Quickly When Cutting Fabric With a Projector for Sewing Patterns

In this video, learn how to do simple height adjustments on sewing patterns when cutting with a projector. #projectorsforsewing

Note: If your pattern does not have a shortening/lengthening line, you will want to add one- it's fairly simple to do in Adobe Reader. Please let me know in the comment below if you'd like a video on how to do this.

Thank you!! I tend to over complicate things and your solution was so simple! You saved me a lot of stress, time, and fabric!

this is amazing! Thank you so much for the simple way to change this length. I like all your videos. Ive been hung up on this for awhile with deciding if I want a projector. I can't thank you enough.
