With pattern projecting becoming a bit more mainstream, there's been a lot of talk recently about using projectors for sewing! And with all that talk comes a lot of shared information that can become murky...and then we end up with some myths and misconceptions that are only vaguely founded in some truth. So, with the inspiration of a Projectors for Sewing post, I am bringing to you 14 things that you may think are preventing you from pattern projecting and why it likely isn't actually standing in your way! I end it with a pep talk because the only thing that is actually stopping most people is the fear of the unknown and the initiative to dive into what can feel very overwhelming at first. I mention several resources throughout the video to help with those very real issues. Use the cards in the videos and the list below to find everything you need to get projecting!
