How to use the Pattern Tiling Preview

  1. Upload a finished repeat tile.
  2. Use “Repeats across” to zoom out until you see the pattern as it will look on a garment or curtain.
  3. Toggle the grid to see the repeat boundaries.
  4. Try the other layouts to compare.
  5. Download a preview swatch for presentations or social media.

Why preview at scale?

A tile that looks balanced on its own can create unwanted stripes, holes or “tracking” lines once it repeats across a metre of fabric. Zooming out to 8–12 repeats across shows the pattern roughly as a customer sees it on a garment or a curtain.

Example

If a heavy motif sits near the same place in every tile, it lines up into a visible diagonal or column at small scale. Move it, add a smaller filler motif, or switch to a half drop and preview again.
