Buying expensive scrollsaw patterns can take
a big bite out of your woodworking project budget,
which can force you to use a lower grade of lumber.
But depending on what type of project you are
contemplating you may not have to pay for your
pattern at all. That is because many free patterns
are available on the Internet for your scroll
saw projects.
These free patterns are posted on a wide range
of web sites for many different reasons. They
may be posted by scroll saw makers or lumber
companies to get you to purchase their products,
or they may come from fellow woodworkers who
want to share a cool project. Another source
is charitable organizations who may ask you to
donate one of the items you produce to be used
in gift shops, auctions, or in their work. While
most people who post free patterns are happy
that others are using their ideas, if you are
planning to sell your projects most ask that
you forward a reasonable royalty to them.
Finding free printable scroll saw patterns
Finding the free printable scroll
saw patterns you want is as simple as turning on your computer

of free patterns quite easily, so it helps to
know both what you are looking for and what makes

Because there are so many good free patterns
available, you can afford to be somewhat choosy.
The best patterns will feature diagrams and trace
patterns that will print to scale, so all you
have to do is glue them to your lumber. In addition
to these printable features, look for innovative
aids such as step by step instructions, colour
pictures, and even full motion video demonstrations
of how the pattern is to be completed.
