When getting started in pattern projection, it can feel like a lot of prep work but this is all in set up. One of the most important parts is projector calibration. Why? This ensures that the patterns are being projected at the intended size because sewing is all about accuracy. So if the pattern shows a scale reference at 4" you can measure this projected image and it's actually 4". Otherwise you may be cutting out pieces that are already too small or too large. This video covers projector calibration in a DIY set up to make sure the projector is projecting a squared image that is showing accurate sizes. While this can be a time consuming process at the start, if you keep track of your calibration information you can get started faster and easier the next time you want to try this method.
