FAQ
Are the patterns truly seamless/tileable?
Yes — PatternForge generates patterns designed to tile seamlessly in all directions. The AI is prompted specifically for repeating textile patterns. For best results, use the 'seamless' option in the generator.
What DPI/resolution for fabric printing?
Our standard output works for digital and small format. Pro members get high-resolution outputs suitable for 150 DPI fabric printing — the industry standard for textile printing.
Can I sell products made with these patterns?
Free tier is personal use only. Pro members ($7.99/mo) get a full commercial license to use patterns on products sold via Spoonflower, Etsy, Amazon, craft fairs, or anywhere else.
How do I upload to Spoonflower?
Download your pattern from PatternForge, go to Spoonflower.com → Design → Upload, choose your tile as a 'Basic Repeat'. Spoonflower handles the rest. Order a swatch first to check colors.
What makes a good fabric pattern?
Good fabric patterns have balanced density (not too sparse or crowded), colors that work well together, clear motifs at the expected viewing distance, and seamless tiling so the repeat isn't obvious.
