Patterns laid out for SVG export

Patterns projected on a cutting mat next to a PDF printout of the patterns

Pandafold can either print out patterns PDF, SVG, or use a cheap projector (50$ from Amazon) to project the patterns directly on fabric - together we can end big ducts monopoly on patterning!

Hahaha, try writing software to do all this for you, it's utterly complex. I thought that the 2D part of labeling patterns would be easy, it turned out to be super challenging, especially generating the pattern alignment marks.

I dig it!
