Using Pattern Fill In Design Space

Did you know you can upload your own pattern to Design Space?! Game.changer.

 

There are so many fun projects you can create with this feature. Printed patterned vinyl, patterned invitations or notecards on card stock, cake toppers, printable patterned HTV.  So many options! It’s really simple to do but if you’re new to Design Space it can be overwhelming so hopefully this post helps someone out.

 

(1) Open Design Space and go to the Upload window. Select “Upload Pattern” on the right side.
