Preparing A Pattern For Printing With Inkscape

March 20, 2009

We’re continuing the Pattern Workshop with a new series as we explore a new program, Inkscape.  Inkscape is a vector based graphics software, similar to Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw.  The main difference is the price tag.  Inkscape is Free!!!  You can find your copy of Inkscape at Inkscape.org.  It is a very cool program and perfect for us scrollers!

In this short video tutorial, we explore what Inkscape is and how to download this wonderful free program. Then we import a downloaded pattern, resize it, and prepare it for printing.  It may seem a little silly to have a whole video on printing a pattern, but I do this each and every time I print a pattern.  I love the results and makes my scrolling that much easier.
