### How do I print a pattern at actual size?

Paper sizes: A4 — 5. Print at 100% scale (“Actual size”) with “Fit to page” turned off, and check the test square or a piece dimension with a ruler before cutting.

### What leather should I use?

These are usually made from firm veg-tan or combination-tanned leather 0.8–1.4 mm (2–3.5 oz) thick: it holds its shape and takes a clean burnished edge. Makers often give the exact thickness — check the description and notes on the pattern page.

### What language are the instructions in?

Instruction languages: English — 3. Even without the language you can follow the drawings and video tutorial, and titles and descriptions on the site are translated into English, Russian and Spanish.
