Summary
This episode is an introduction to projector sewing! Projector sewists skip the paper and project patterns directly onto fabric. We talk about what you need for a successful setup and how to use it; the pros and cons of projector sewing vs. printing out PDF patterns; and whether we're planning to start using projectors (we disagree!). We also answer a listener question about pants length adjustments.
