Hi everyone! Question…I would like to use some of my patterns that I made to get printed on fabric from Spoonflower…I have uploaded the required size for a yard of fabric, but it keeps showing a seam where the pattern is repeating. Has anyone used the Spoonflower site and can give me some guidance on what and how to upload my patterns there? I would love to sew some bags with my patterns made from the Repper app! Thanks!!
To use your Repper designs make sure you are using the tile image download and not the surface image, the surface image download isn’t a repeatable image.
I take my downloads into Photoshop and save as a pattern there and that is the one that I upload to Spoonflower. You might be able to upload the tile image after you download it right into Spoonflower but I haven’t tried that since I tweak things in Photoshop first.
Good luck and hope this helpls.

Thank you! I did figure it out to use the tile instead of the surface image after a few wrong turns!
@Ellen_Millar and @karensphotoart, if you haven’t seen it yet, check out this video on exporting patterns from Repper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG4zqoBccQY
It deals with a lot of the details that can make a bit difference when you want to export for specific purposes. For example, you can export surfaces in a seamless way, if you want to, but you need to unlock the repeat count (thereby locking the aspect ratio of the resolution) and then use whole numbers for export for repeat count.
Of course, a tile is the smallest possible export that’s repeatable, and in many cases, that’s the easiest to upload and work with on services like Spoonflower that will repeat a pattern for you.
