Should I worry about the partial repeat?

For continuous yardage, no — it is normal. For engineered panels, scarves or cut-and-sew pieces, use the Fabric Width Calculator to find a repeat size that fits exactly.

Fabric Print Size Calculator

Enter your repeat in pixels and its DPI to get the printed size, then see how many repeats fit across a fabric width and down a length.

How to use the Fabric Print Size Calculator

Enter the repeat’s width and height in pixels.
Enter the resolution (DPI) you will print at.
Optionally enter the fabric width and length.
Read the printed size and how the repeat lays out on the fabric.

From pixels to fabric

Print size depends only on pixels and DPI: width (cm) = pixels ÷ DPI × 2.54. The calculator then lays that repeat across your fabric so you can see full repeats and the partial repeat left at the selvedge.

Example

A 3,600 × 3,600 px tile at 300 DPI prints at 30.48 × 30.48 cm. On a 145 cm fabric that gives four full repeats and a 23.1 cm partial repeat at the edge — fine for yardage, but for a cushion panel you might scale the repeat so that exactly four or five fit.
