How to use these free kinusaiga patterns
- Pick a design and size. Open any pattern and choose a print size that fits your foam board and frame.
- Print at 100%. Choose “Actual size” in the print dialog and measure the 1-inch calibration bar.
- Transfer the cut map. Tape it to your board and score every line about 1/8" (3 mm) deep with a sharp craft knife.
- Cut fabric with allowance. Use the numbered fabric map; cut each piece about 1/4" larger than its shape.
- Tuck and finish. Press the fabric edges into the grooves, trim any excess, and frame your piece.
