I can’t print the pattern. The operation fails or the printer outputs an error. What to do?
If you’re printing the pattern pieces, please print your size only. If you’re printing the construction guide, due to the fact that the file is full of images, the printer may not be able to print all at once. Try printing in batches, like 10 pages each time.
Can I make the pattern without underwires?
The Afi Exquisite bra is designed to use underwires. Due to the balconette style, the underwire is an essential part of this bra to ensure support and shape.
Can I make the pattern with foam?
Yes, you can! The pushup effect should work even better with foam.
Can I use your pattern in a workshop?
Please consult the Terms of Use for PDF patterns for allowed usage based on the pattern license type.
I can’t use any translation tools to translate the instructions
Please note that due to the increasing number of scammers, to protect ourselves to some degree, the file allows reading and printing access only. Translation tools require editing access. If you’re worried about sewing the bra, there’s no need! All the steps have illustrations and you will be able to sew the bra.
