NOTE: The BurdaStyle team strongly encourages you to save all free and purchased patterns onto your desktop or external device. We can not guarantee your patterns be saved in the case of a site crash or other extreme technical emergency.

We do not sell printed patterns and we do not offer refunds on digital patterns, except as noted in our FAQ. The patterns found on our web site are only available as digital downloads from our web site and are not available as printed patterns sold in stores. We try to make it as clear as possible that the patterns are downloadable.  

Here is a link to helpful information about downloading, printing and assembling our patterns: https://www.burdastyle.com/guide-downloadable-pattern

If you cannot print your pattern at home, we suggest that you put the pattern onto a flash drive and take it to a local print shop. Most large office supply stores and Fedex locations offer this service. Some of them also allow you to upload files via their web sites.  A quick local Internet search should produce some results for you.

You must check whether your printer settings have not changed the scale of the document while printing. To do this, start by printing only the sheet containing the test square and check that it measures10x10cm. Then, you can print all of the pages and assemble them. You can check our guide just here!

Burda sizes are generally larger than "standard” sizes. Therefore, check your measurements and refer to the Burda size guide!
