Um, has anyone ever bothered manually converting a decently large paper pattern into digital?

Was it worth the time you saved during actual stitching?

Because it seemed like a really good idea to give myself a Pattern Keeper version of Errol, but this much took me half an hour, so maybe not...

Seems like a projector would be handy for this task.

Edit: I'm dumb and haven't had enough coffee. My statement is based on a backwards reading of the title sorry..

@ubermeisters May have to look into this at some point if I ever stitch any more of their paper-only patterns!

I was mistakenly thinking you needed to take a digital file and get it onto paper, and I was thinking a projector would be the easiest way to do that particular process.

@ubermeisters Ah right, I was thinking maybe you meant people scan in the paper version, project it onto the fabric and sketch it out or something! Other way round makes a lot more sense 😁
