Thank you for watching! Did you find this video helpful? Comment “yes” or “no” and let me know so that I make more videos for you that you want to see :)

@CherryDaviess 2 года назад

Thanks for this video. I am going to use almost all the tips haha. I have just learnt how to make seamless patterns, and they are so fun. It is going to take time to get to 42 and be able to sell (after buying swatches) though. But it is on my to-do list. I also love your work.

@geegee9991 Год назад

At Spoonflower, they have a video showing how to create the quilt, and you don’t have to have 42. You can stretch one fabric over four of the units, for instance.

@jacquietimms3075 7 месяцев назад

I'm just starting as a designer, and I look forward to implementing these tips! Does spoonflower give protection for your designs (copyright) when you start selling, or does that have to be done privately?

@DanaDoes 2 года назад

I love the tip about entering Spoonflower contests! I never win the contests, but I make almost all of my sales from designs that I've entered into contests. So, now I try to enter every single one.

@oksancia 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing your experience! I agree. It does help.

@deneseiasharell 2 года назад

Thank you so much!

@oksancia Год назад

You're welcome!

@Roxyloves17 2 года назад

How about different sizes of patterns. Like a small, medium or large scale? Do you upload different scales as well?

@oksancia 2 года назад

Great question! I will add this to my list of video ideas. I usually upload one larger size of patterns and only upload different sizes or color versions to my most popular pattern designs. Hope this helps.

@tweeta6793 11 месяцев назад

@@oksanciaDoes each color version require a separate swatch purchase?

@shastingrace3760 Год назад

So you have to order a swatch of your pattern after uploading in order to sell it on Spoonflower?? I didn't realize ordering a swatch was required.

@oksancia Год назад

Yes, this is done to make sure that the fabric is as you intended for colors and all the lines print well. Please make the swatch cost much less by using fill-a-project method I share in this video. Good luck!

@Vartikas.illustrations Год назад

I did not understand tip no. 5. I need to buy 42 swatches or more first before I start selling on spoonflower?

@LaurenInesRuiz Год назад

To be able to sell an item on Spoonflower, they require you to buy a test swatch. This is $5/swatch. However, if you upload 42 designs and group them in a collection, and then go to sell, you have the option of doing a "cheater quilt" as your test swatch. So instead of paying $5 x 42 ($210) for 42 individual swatches, you end up paying about $19 for the whole cheater quilt, which includes the 42 designs.

@Lauren Ruiz thanks for the clarification 💖💖

@lindalee945 11 месяцев назад

@LaurenInesRuiz thank you for the explanation.

@Lady_in_Waiting Год назад

Do you hand draw and paint designs or are they computer generated from somewhere?

@oksancia Год назад

Great question! I draw my designs in Adobe Illustrator by hand.

@amandaleahspears Год назад

So how do we proof our designs?

@oksancia Год назад

On Spoonflower you can order single proof as a swatch or a collection of 42 or 48 swatches on 2 yards of fabric to proof a lot of the designs at once which is much cheaper.

@rfmh2081 Год назад

Ho do you price your fabric?? How much does this or that cost?

@oksancia Год назад

It really depends on each case and what license then end customer is getting as well as how detailed the designs are for each license.

@jasminlatifa5516 2 года назад

@animajebinesha3597 2 года назад

hey dear! If I don't want to buy clothes from Spoon Flower and just want to upload designs, will my designs sell? Do I have to pay for it?

@oksancia 2 года назад

Spoonflower does not sell clothes, they sell fabric, wallpaper, and home decor goods. You need to pay every time you upload a new design and want to post it for sale to order a test swatch, but please watch this video again to see my tip on how to make it much cheaper for you. Good luck!
