Is it just me?
I followed the instructions on Burda's site. The graphics on each page skew to the right (no border on the right) so that the little notches won't line up. The test square is sized correctly.
I'm using a new printer (Epson WF-3540) and Windows 7. If I tell it to fit to the page, the borders with notches are there but the size is wrong when I measure the test square.
It's like I get it oriented on the page correctly or sized correctly but not both.
Is it just me?

I am always happy when the pages print with no border on one side - one less side to trim!

So I can just go with it? The notches aren't quite right but I'm not exactly trying to print a couture pattern with 27 pieces either.

If the test square is right, I'd try it.

Ok - you're on!! I'll report back after I tape and hopefully cut and sew a quick muslin together.
Thanks for the encouragement.

Hmmm. You might mess with it a bit more. Just be sure that the scaling is 100% (sometimes Win 7 will default to 103%), and you've selected the right paper size. Perhaps the Epson is forcing a left-side margin or indent of some kind...can you look at advanced settings to check this? I'm just afraid you might have lost more than the border, i.e, part of the pattern itself! Hope another member has this printer...

I decided to try to copy it to a flash drive so I can get it printed full size somewhere.
Now I'm having issues with the laptop being able to access the USB drive and am remembering why I'm saving my spending money for a Mac ...
