I store my patterns in Dropbox for easy use without having paper patterns. Can not do that with your patterns. Very disappointing since the patterns look great.
Hello Nancy! We currently do not allow downloads of our patterns, but are exploring options in the near future. You are welcome to save this pattern by copying and pasting into a word document or by printing the pattern via the printer icon on the left hand side of your screen. Hope this helps! – Nicola, Editor
I agree ~ use MSWord for my most fav or used patterns. I can then use AirPlay to display the Word file on TV set. Then I can easily read instructions as I work my piece.
If you are trying to figure out how to print to a pdf: try using the “Print” option on your browser (click the 3 bars or dots on the upper far right of the screen to bring up the browser menu). I use Firefox but it also works with Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. With this option you can specify your margins and pages to print, then select whether to print as a pdf which you can save as a download, or to your printer for a hard copy.
Nicola, The printer icon on left only prints photo and a few lines — No pattern. Copy/Paste to a Word document seems to be only choice. Have you ever thought of posting your patterns as PDF’s? I tried the PDF to set it up to save as a PDF, but again, the same issue – photo and a few lines.
