Hey guys, thanks so much for watching! Check out my other Spoonflower video which explains the cheapest way to get samples so you can enable your designs for sale: ua-cam.com/video/wEmIIjE9G9U/v-deo.html
@@roxannetamberlane6501 Hey! Sorry I don't want to give it away exactly but what I did was follow a tutorial on how to make a Houndstooth pattern and then turned it into something that looks more like a cat. Hope that helps!
Thank you SO much! I had no idea what I was doing! I was just buying others creations for a few years now although very expensive. There wasn’t an option for me to create for some reason😮
Julie tahnk you very much for your videos, I have a doubt. I dont want to make a pattern, im trying to print a single photo centered in the whole canva. I want to make a tapestry for my living room with that image that I have. When i upload the file , it shows the image very small as if im going to make patterns and repeat the image.
Hi there, if you're trying to make a tapestry you may want to try Zazzle instead, they have this style www.zazzle.com/create_your_own_small_tapestry-256047746939665996 and they also have this one www.zazzle.com/create_your_own_26_x36_vertical_hanging_tapestry-256291240518259898
Hi there! I do both hand drawn and purely digital art. So you will need to digitize your drawings/paintings using a camera or scanner. I have a video on how to digitize your art using PS and AI, but you can use a different software similarly: ua-cam.com/video/p06oxD4eF_4/v-deo.html
Hi Julie thank you for your video, I am new to pattern design and to spoonflower. I have an issue uploading the patterns, they lose clarity and get washed out after they are uploaded, do you have any video, or could you advise please regarding this issue. I create the patterns in Adobe Illustrator or Procreate on a 3600/3600 canvas - 300 DPI.
What page are you seeing it washed out? Because your design will be printed on fabric it might not look quite as vibrant in real life so it could be showing a more accurate version of what it will look like when it's printed
Hi Julie, thank you for the video. A question I have is: can you upload a variety of designs in teh 42 sample print that are not part of a collection? for example 20 are one collection and the rest are variety. If you are able to do that (or not), the next question is: once approved to publish, do you get the opportunity to rearrange the designs in different collections, etc?
Yes to both! The collection doesn't have to be a real collection it's more so to get the cheater quilt. After that you can move them or add them to another collection absolutely
@@JulieErinDesigns- again I want to understand something from this video- does it means that whenever every design I upload to spoonflower, I have to buy every design as a sample? I understood that we can mix all the designs into one and buy as one. But I want to understand that query.
@@JulieErinDesigns oooh. That’s too bad concept. That does not seem fair for the designers. We, designers, actually upload to earn some money, not to spend on it. We spend time and energy hoping that someone would buy from us. Even spoonflower can take commissions from us. Like this, It will actual lead to loss. There would be no profit from it… Some can’t even spend even few dollars on just sample. :(
@@manisha-colorcreativityartwork In my other video I explain how to add 42 samples at a time to a cheater quilt that you can purchase for around $20 U.S. So around 0.50 cents per sample. It's not a huge investment. I've more than made my money back dong it this way. I also think it is a barrier to entry for those just looking to make a quick buck. But I totally understand your hesitation and it's not for everyone.
I believe your pattern swatch has to be a square otherwise it doesn't repeat properly. But you can create your original pattern swatch at that size in whatever app you use to create your art and then upload it and it should be at that size.
The website is bizarre. I'm trying to join as a seller and its not clear at all. It is having me add to cart. I went to the sell link. I upload my design and it has me add it to cart! There is an area to join but no clear way to join as a seller. Will have to contact them. There is no area on how you earn either.
@@JulieErinDesigns Hello again. I see very small errors in the spoonflower pattern control. Are these small errors a problem? Do I need to confirm the pattern or correct errors? Thanks.
@@JulieErinDesigns Does it make sense to upload pattern designs to stock sites or is it smarter to upload them to other pattern sales sites. Which pattern sites earn more?
Hi Julie, thank you for the instructions, they are really helpful. Could you please show how to upload a design specifically for a wall hanging? I have troubles with it: in the design challenge they say it's 18''x27'' but if you look at the actual size of a prosuct it's 16''x24''. Okay, these 2 and 3 inches are taken for sewing, so I make my image 18x27 right in the programme. But when I upload it and fit the size, the type of textile and go to look at the wall hanging, it shows both: 1) a not centered image and 2) sometimes vertical and sometimes horizontal. I've seen that other designers upload their designs horizontally specifically for the wall hangning, so I tried this too but it didn't work. I'm not sure it's a common problem but in case you have some requests like that, I would be happy to learn some tips.
@@janperea6703 I haven't created wall hangings myself, but I did come across this article. Not sure if it helps: support.spoonflower.com/hc/en-us/articles/360061371292-Design-Guidelines-Wall-Hangings-and-Tea-Towels

i’m trying to figure out how to upload two images at one time.

Is it possible to order digital swatches instead of physical ones? As a new designer, I am unable to order and pay every time.
Thanks that's helpful.
You're very welcome!
Thank you for this video, it helped me very much, the website seems to be full of information, but doesn't seem to be organized to follow easily.
I'm glad you found my video helpful!
Great tutorial. And I love your voice for some reason

On the computer, or ipad I guess? Depends on the software, but they can follow a tutorial to make a repeatable pattern in the software they're using.
@@JulieErinDesigns By hand on paper....I did find a great youtube tutorial after I asked this question!! Thanks !
