Why is the pattern printed on white paper?

There are limited paper options available for small pattern companies to keep production minimums low and costs affordable for clients. The patterns are printed locally in small quantities as needed. The available paper that is large enough for use with our full-size patterns for use while still allowing for small print runs is white blueprint paper.

Can the wrinkles be pressed out of the pattern by ironing?

Is the pattern available as a digital download file?

Are the patterns sold to clients the same patterns used by Ecclesiastical Sewing?

May I make a copy of the pattern in my plotter or save a digital copy of this pattern?
