Cut with confidence. Setup once, use forever.
1. Choose your workspace. Set up on a sewing table, cutting table, or any flat surface with enough clear space for your fabric.
2. Position the projector. Place it at a height and angle where the lens faces directly down onto your work surface, adjusting the swivel head as needed.
3. Power it on. Use the included remote to turn the projector on and confirm it's projecting onto your surface.
4. Open your digital pattern. Load your pattern file on any device with wifi or an HDMI port - and connect to the projector.
5. Align the projection. Move the projector or adjust the pattern's zoom/position until the outlines line up exactly where you need them on your fabric.
6. Lay down your fabric. Smooth your fabric flat under the projection so the pattern lines, seam allowances, and markings (pockets, sleeves, collars, side panels) fall directly on top of it.
7. Trace or cut directly. Use the projected lines as your guide to trace with a fabric pen or cut straight into the fabric — no printing, no taping, no paper pattern needed.
8. Reposition as needed. For multiple pattern pieces, shift the fabric or adjust the projector and repeat the alignment step.
9. Store when finished. Since the setup is compact and adjustable, you can pack it away without dedicating permanent space to it — ready to set up again for your next project.
