Can I enter my finished piece in a competition?
That would be cheating as it wouldn't be your own work.

My Mum/sister/friend/colleague has asked me to give them a copy of a pattern I bought, am I allowed to print one out for them.

When I print a pattern directly from the email link it doesn't come out the correct size, how do I make it the right size?
My files are formatted to fit on both A4 and Letter size paper. To get your files to print to the correct size first you need to save them on your computer. To do this you can either right click anywhere on a PDF and select 'Save as...' or hover your mouse somewhere at the bottom of the screen so that some symbols appear, then click the 'save' icon. Once you have saved you PDF file it will either drop to the bottom of your screen where you can just click on it to open it, or you will have to go into the file you just created and double click it to open it. To print out the saved PDF file select the print icon from somewhere on the screen, a box will pop up, make sure the 'none' or 'Actual size' box is checked and 'fit to page' is NOT selected before pressing print. If you are printing onto Letter size paper and find that some of the information has missed off the print have another go but this time select 'fit to page'. This setting will print a smaller chart but it should all fit on a sheet of paper.
Why don't my printed downloads come out the same colour as they appear on the screen?
The designs I produce are only tested on one home printer, mine, as all printers are different I can't guarantee that the colours your printer produces will look the same as the images on your computer screen. I try to design patterns that have a good contrast between colours by not using two colours that are almost the same. My best advice is to try a few different printer settings until you find the setting that produces the clearest image.

Is it OK to add a link from my blog or website to any of Judith Drew Designs products or to share the images to Pinterest or Instagram?
Yes, free publicity is always welcome but please be aware that I sometimes have to change the titles of blog pages or move designs to a different location so your link would no longer work. Please give all credit to Judith Drew Designs.
What are PDF files and do you supply the designs in other formats.
Portable Document Files or PDF's are easy to use static files that can't be altered, resized or cropped so will print as a full A4 or letter size sheet with all the text and a white border. For ease of designing and printing I have decided not to supply my designs in any other file formats.
Can I get the designs translated into a different language?
Judith Drew Designs downloads are currently only available in English.
