If you don't like printing patterns, I highly recommend set-up like this. This projector is quite cheap at around 90$ and the stand/bracket is about 8$. It also has built-in miracast so I can cast my document directly from PC via wifi.

2024-06-06 14:21:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe fabric is not stretchy enough, especially for vertical direction. I'll use four-way stretch fabric next time.
I use fold-over elastic to finish the edge. The elastic length is shortened to 90%.
I also added a crotch piece.
No reference to specific brand.

The original instruction is to use measurement 2 to 3 size lower. From the chart, I figure that each size differs by 4 cm for the horizontal measurement, and 0.5 cm for the ve...
