FAQ
What is Cutline used for?
Cutline projects PDF sewing patterns directly onto your cutting table at true physical size. This eliminates the need to print, tape, and trim paper patterns, allowing you to cut straight from the projected line.
How accurate is Cutline's projection?
Cutline offers accurate calibration by allowing you to measure a known rectangle like a cutting mat or ruler. The app corrects for scale and keystone distortion. Tests show accuracy within half a millimeter with correct calibration.
Can I use Cutline with patterns I already own?
Yes, Cutline is designed to work with the PDF patterns you already own. You can open patterns from Files, iCloud Drive, or other locations on your iPad. It supports features like showing only your size and laying out tiled pieces.
Does Cutline require a specific projector?
No, Cutline does not require a proprietary projector. It works with standard projectors and allows you to pick the resolution your projector will use. Your existing calibration is rescaled onto new surfaces when you connect a projector.
What devices does Cutline support?
Cutline is available for iPhone and iPad, requiring iOS 17 and later. It also supports Mac devices, offering a flexible control panel that adapts to the available space on different screen sizes.

Does Cutline have ads?

How do I calibrate Cutline?
Calibration in Cutline starts with a rectangle you can measure, such as a cutting mat or ruler. You input its real size, then drag four corners onto it. This single step corrects for both scale and keystone distortion.
