LayeringLayered sizing is being added pattern by pattern — Gio and I are working through them in priority order. Every new release has it from the start.
Measure the 2″ test square first. It's the only thing that goes wrong,
and the only thing you can't undo. Print at 100%, from a laptop rather than a phone.
Buy a little more fabric than you need, and run the tricky part once in something
cheap before you touch the good stuff.
