Projector Sewing Startup Guide
Are you completely new to Projector Sewing? There’s lots of resources available to help you on your learning journey.
For a guided learning journey, that is well structured and not overwhelming, I highly suggest investing in Missy Pore’s Projecting Confidence video course. Missy is the founder of the Projectors for Sewing Facebook group, and sparked the projector sewing revolution. This video course is available to you forever for a one time payment, and you can watch as you like, all at once or at your own pace over time. Missy also offers one-on-one live vide chat sessions to help with calibration.

For step by step written guide for setting up and calibrating a projector, this is the guide I developped for the Projectors for Sewing Facebook group:
Projectors for Sewing Setup and Calibration Guide
Once your projector is Setup and Calibrated, this is the Top Tips guide I developped to learn all the little things that make projector sewing easier. Many of the tips are workarounds when projecting from Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is not ideal for projecting, but it is the most common software people use. If projecting instead from Inkscape, then most of these “Tips” aren’t needed, because Inkscape doesn’t have the problems that Adobe has when projecting patterns. More info on Inkscape in the Beginner’s guide on this site.
Top Tips for Projecting
I am planning a new Projector Sewing Startup Guide, that will be added to this website. The guide will be more specific to the recommended projectors listed on this site. Let me know in the comments, what questions an updated Projector Sewing Startup Guide should answer.
