Tip: when printing the pattern set your printer to "Actual size", "Default", or "100%", depending on the software. Do not select "Fit to page" or "Shrink oversize pages" as this will result in the pricking pattern being a different size from the one intended.
PDF reader software is required to view and print the patterns. Many devices come with PDF reader software already installed. If PDF reader software is configured with your web browser, the pattern should open automatically, unless you have set it to save pdf files to your download folder.
