If you want more information on projectors for sewing patterns, read MY SEWING PROJECTOR POST. I will need to get a short-throw projector instead. Still, I couldn’t get the VANKYO 470 Leisure to have a big enough projection size for my purposes. Standard mounts typically need 10 inches or more for mounting. This helped give me a few extra inches for the projection size. I rigged a mount out of shelf brackets so that I could have the lens of the projector as close to my ceiling as possible. Here’s a pic of my projection to show you how easy it is to read in full daylight: The quality is just as good as the popular Vivimage Explore 2. It will work if I want to project patterns for small bags and children’s clothing, but it’s not large enough to project and cut out adult clothing… With that being said, if you have taller ceilings, this projector would work well. I got everything set up and the projection image was just too small. I have standard 8-foot ceilings, so unfortunately the VANKYO Leisure 470 projector did not work for my sewing purposes. It is compatible with the PM20 bracket, also sold on. Easy to Mount: This projector is small and has four screw holes in the bottom for easy mounting.

As full disclosure, they sent me the VANKYO Leisure 470 projector for free in exchange for this review. Sewing projectors are trending right now and tons of pattern designers are adding projector files to their patterns. When VANKYO approached me about trying out a projector for sewing patterns, I thought it would be fun to give it a try. I’m happy to do this if it is something I think I would use Since I get a lot of website traffic, companies sometimes ask me to review sewing products.
