Our library of DuckaDilly Free Downloads is growing! Whether you are doing English Paper Piecing (EPP) or Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) for the first time, looking for a new sewing (or no sew!) project, or need some inspiration, DuckaDilly has a variety of fun templates and patterns to choose from. Our downloads are a great way to sample a new block, hone your ability to mix-and-match blocks by using our colorful stash packs and curated bundles, or find creative ways to use your scraps.
Need help finding or printing our downloads? Here are some Tips from the Studio.
Accessing Our Downloads
a) We recommend using a desktop or laptop computer to access and print our downloads. From the DuckaDilly homepage, hover over "Kits and Patterns" in the main menu.
b) Select a menu item under "Free Downloads". DuckaDilly downloads are separated into EPP, FPP, and tutorial-related templates and patterns. To see our full library, click on "All Free Downloads"
Downloading Your Selected Template or Pattern
a) When you have found a template or pattern you like, click on the gold "Free Download" button underneath the product image.
b) This will direct you to the page where you can download your item.
c) Type in your first name and email address, then press the "Subscribe and Download" button. Please note that by downloading our free templates and patterns, you agree to be subscribed to the DuckaDilly newsletter.
d) Your page should now include a link underlined in gold for your printable. Click on this link and your downloadable will open in a new tab in your browser.
e) We recommend that you save your DuckaDilly downloads to your computer. To do this, click on the download icon in the upper right corner of the opened template or pattern. Select the location where you want the file to be saved, then click "Save".
Printing Your Download
a) To print your template or pattern, select the printer icon in the upper right corner of the opened file.
b) It is very important that you print your template at 100%! To do this, you may need to modify the scale in your Print window. Select the drop down arrow under the "Scale" option and select "Custom". Set your "Custom" scale to "100".
c) However, before you print, make sure you have the right kind of paper for the template or pattern you are printing.
- For EPP templates, we recommend thicker paper or cardstock.
- For FPP templates, our paper of choice is Carol Doaks FPP Paper, which is available for purchase here. You can also use tracing paper, drafting paper, or regular printer paper.
d) Press "Print" and get sewing!
