Finished size: The finished artwork will fit inside a standard 7"x5" (177.8mm x 127mm) frame.
Time required: Everyone felts at different speeds, however to give you a time indication, the ‘Sunburst’ completion time is estimated at 15–25 hours (Skill Level 2) while the ‘Flutter’ completion time is estimated at 6–10 hours (Skill Level 1).
File download: Each pattern purchase comes with three pdf files that you will download to your computer – a black and white pattern (one page), a colour reference sample (one page) and a 12-page instruction booklet (including a link to access online video demonstration files). Each file is A4 in size. The only file you need to print is the pattern (so you can transfer the design to your fabric). The other two files are optional to print and can be easily viewed on your computer, tablet or phone.
