I provide full support for my patterns! If you ever need assistance, please email me.
Opening the PDF file.
To open the PDF file, you will need to use Adobe Reader, which is a free software program. Most computers come with Adobe Reader already installed. If you don't have it, go here to download a version for Macs or PCs: http://get.adobe.com/reader/ You may have pattern sizing problems with other built in pdf readers,
I don't have a printer, do you mail patterns via snail mail?
Not at this time. Most office supply stores can print the pattern for you from a jump drive or cd.
Are your patterns hand drawn or digital?
All my patterns are created on a computer with computer drawn pattern pieces.
Why do some patterns come without pattern pieces?
We try to keep things as simple as possible for you. If the pattern pieces are square or rectangular fabric strips, the pattern includes a measurement chart with specific instructions for cutting each piece.
Large fabric strips would take a lot of pages to tape together, which would be a waste of paper & ink!
My computer crashed. Will you resend the pattern to me?
No need to wait for me to send them!
You can download the patterns anytime you need them, up to 5 times,
Do you ever sell items you make?
Sorry, I just can't find the time!
Can I sell finished items I sew?
Yes. I do allow customers to sell items made using my patterns that they have purchased. I ask that you please link to my shop, if you use Viola Lee patterns in designs you sell. My patterns are all designed by me. All of my patterns are copyrighted. Distribution and sharing of my patterns is strictly prohibited.
Do I need a serger to make items with Viola Lee patterns?
No. While many of my customers use a serger, a serger is not necessary to sew any of my patterns, you can finish seams with a zig zag stitch if you want.
** Important Safety Note:
Never leave a child unattended or allow a child to sleep with a garment that uses ties or straps. Please take great care in supervising children wearing any item made with ties and/or straps.
Where can I learn about new patterns and special offers?
