Download & Unpack

Overview

1. Start Download

As soon as your payment has been received, the pattern will be unlocked and you will receive an email notification.

Here’s how to access your files:

  1. Log in to your user account.
  2. Click on your avatar at the top right and select “Downloads”.
  3. The list shows all your purchased patterns.
  4. Click on “Go to Download” next to the desired pattern.

Now you’re only one step away!

2. Download Patterns as ZIP File

On the download page you’ll find two buttons: a grey one (ZIP Download) and an orange one (Single Files).

For a complete download, we recommend the ZIP file:

  1. Click the grey button.
  2. Choose “Save file” in the dialog window.
  3. Save the file in your preferred location.
  4. Unpack the ZIP file with your extraction program.
  5. Then open the pattern with your PDF reader or another suitable program.

Tip: Free extraction tools like 7-Zip, WinRAR, or the Windows built-in extractor can do the job.

3. View & Save Single Files

You only need certain files?

  • Click on “View Files” (orange button).
  • A list of all files from the ZIP archive will appear.
  • Select the file you want to open.
  • Click on “Open” – you can view the file online or save it locally.

4. Further Notes on Download

  • You can download every purchased pattern as many times as you like.
  • Downloads work from any device – just log in and start.
  • If you try to buy the same pattern again, you’ll see a note in the product description. Clicking on it takes you directly to the free re-download.

5. Get Free Patterns

Many authors publish free patterns:

  1. Activate your account via the confirmation email.
  2. Visit the overview of free patterns.
  3. Click on the preview image or the pattern name.
  4. On the product page, you’ll find the button “Download for free”.
  5. Then download the pattern as described above (ZIP or single file).

Tip: Even for free patterns, you can choose between ZIP download and single view.
