GREAT Award winning video brother!! I enjoy learning from you!!

[@DetourShirts]

I appreciate it! Thanks for watching

[@lynetterobley7329]

Thank you, Juno. This was incredibly helpful and just what I was looking for♥

[@DetourShirts]

Great... glad I could help

[@Melissa-YupMelissa]

I'm so glad you did this. I tried to teach myself how, and five hours later all I had was a pile of unuseable crap. This tutorial is much better!

[@DetourShirts]

You're very welcome!

[@stephanietm9960]

EXCELLENT tutorial! I'm new to all of this and you've helped immensely!!!

[@DetourShirts]

Awesome, thank you!

[@janellekm]

Hello from Queensland Australia. Thanks for sharing this tutorial, it is very much appreciated. 😊

[@DetourShirts]

You are so welcome

[@cherrylrudy5616]

Perfect timing! This is exactly what I've been working on.

[@DetourShirts]

Great to hear!

[@tonyk8565]

I have done some patterns but I made the process more complicated by doing the math in my head. No idea I could just do something like "+ 1000" in the coordinates. I may actually make more patterns now. Thank you!

[@DetourShirts]

Wonderful! Hope you get a ton of sales from them

[@kathleenvonthaden1289]

Juna, you did it again.....made something that seems so hard, so easy to do. The way you explain everything and actually show us what you are doing is great and so understandable!!! I would love to see more tutorials on any seamless patterns, but especially buffalo check patterns. Thanks for your commitment to teach others!!!

[@DetourShirts]

You are so welcome... More patterns coming

[@robinb1721]

Thank you, Juna! 💙😁

You are welcome

[@clairebartholomew1438]

Thank you so much for this. I’m just learning about surface pattern design and this has saved me so much time trying to figure it out. Now I can focus on my designs. 🎉😊

[@DetourShirts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@isabellejenni2262]

Thank you so much for this tutorial😀 I already created a pattern of my own and I love it🌺

[@DetourShirts]

Wonderful!

[@MultiTrinket]

Good tutorial. I make a lot of patterns using AD, I’ve found also having a live preview of your pattern on a larger art board to be very helpful too

[@DetourShirts]

Great tip!

[@hansendesigns]

The way he does shapes that go off the edge is interesting and this might be easy for you but there are non-numerical ways as well. :) Best to all.

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... lots of ways to do patterns

[@docgallery]

Worked fine for me. Bye bye Adobe illustrator. I’d rather go with a one time purchase, pixel and vector app than monthly sub vector only app. Thanks man. Now i can create my patterns here

[@DetourShirts]

Great to hear! Glad I could help

[@DetourShirts]

Yeah... one time purchase is much better

Thank you. Very nice tutorial. I will like to see patterns with objects that you import into affinity designer, like flowers and animal clipart. Thanks

I enjoy all of your trainings, thank you. In answer to your question, "what type of pattern would you like to see", can you do a video on tartan patterns? Keep doing these videos, I learn something every time. Thank you

Great tip! I was just working on a seamless pattern the other day and gave up. Haha.

You can do it! Easy math

[@jbello9398]

I gotta learn how to do this in photoshop or procreate, always wanted to know how people do patterns

[@DetourShirts]

Procreate would be fun... I think Photoshop has a way to do it too

[@cathydownes8757]

I would love to create my own fabric please even if it is a particular size for a pattern piece e.g 7 x 9 inches etc, you are very easy to understand

[@DetourShirts]

I haven't done that yet but when I do I will make a video

[@cathydownes8757]

@@DetourShirts That would be great thank you

[@jobernard666]

It is a little easier if you place the zero point in the middle of the ArtBoard. Then you only have to change the sign of the values at the edges and corners for the copy.

[@DetourShirts]

Very true

[@Jennerwtx1]

Hi Juna, I love houndstooth patterns, in colors other than the traditional black/white. Also I am really liking designs made using the liquify filter in Procreate.

[@DetourShirts]

Oh thank you! I got to try that liquify filter. Sounds fun... thanks for sharing

[@preciousali186]

Thank you so for the this video.. it was so helpful. Can mock-up be done on Affinity designer on iPad? I used My iPad for this tutorial. Can I also do mock-up on the app too?

[@DetourShirts]

Anything you see done in Affinity Designer can be done in Affinity Designer for iPad......if you want to see the pattern on a product that needs to be done in RedBubble

[@susanrayner5836]

Hi this is brilliant thank you, great tutorial and a great teacher. I've been looking for a quality software as been using free one is ID just a one off payment?

[@ruminsb330]

thanks sir

[@JulesMakesYouThink]

Brilliant. Great video Juna. BTW I wrote you an email with insights about the topics on the QA you did with Ryan. I hope you get some info out of it and when you got chance reply with any comments , feedback or corrections if you feel so.

[@DetourShirts]

I'll check it out! Thanks

[@deloreshillcreative]

I really enjoyed this training. You made it to learn so easy. One question I tried to drag the 90s color palette from the internet onto my artboard desktop in Affinity Designer but wasn't able to. How did you do it? Also, I look forward to seeing more tutorials on how to make patterns. Thank You!

[@DetourShirts]

So first find it on the internet. Drag it to your desktop.... then drag it to your artboard

[@deloreshillcreative]

@@DetourShirts Thank you!

[@madoxmad9825]

Thank you so much. Please more canva tutorial designs canva is the most used just like illustrator and photoshop. Keep up the good work.

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks, will do!

[@deloreshillcreative]

Thank you so much for this video. The first time I tried it months ago I was new to Affinity Designer and so intimidated when I tried to make this '90s pattern I got so frustrated I stopped trying. Well, today months later I am so grateful for this video. I tried it and put the pattern design on Redbubble and I cannot wait to find more designs using your training. I was amazed that the pattern fit perfectly on everything. Usually, I have to do 9075 px x 6201 px for everything to work, but this pattern was perfect. Does it depend on what design I am making using pixels 1000 x 1000 vs. 9075 px x 6201 px?

[@DetourShirts]

The 1000 x 1000 is if you want it to repeat... but if you don't need it to repeat you can use the 9075x6201... congrats on your new pattern... keep it up

[@deloreshillcreative]

@@DetourShirts Thank you.

[@jackiesatyawan8724]

thanks a lot

[@DetourShirts]

You are most welcome

[@Lilione111]

What about the white line the forms on the repeat version?

[@DetourShirts]

Did you see a white line? If you see one try to adjust things until there isn't one.

[@halima6960]

Thank you so much !this is very helpful and seems easy. I'd love to try these techniques and create patterns. Did you do tutorials on illustrator? My first listing on redbubble my account got suspended I have submitted my proof hopefully I'll got it back. As always great tutorials. Thank you again

I don't have Illustrator at the moment.... maybe in the future

[@DetourShirts]

True... I was trying to shorten my intro and I actually heard that a lot of people who didn't like it

[@karolinedeschenes]

Hi! Thanks for the video, I didn't know that Affinity did maths! 😛 QUESTION? How do you get rid of those tiny lines between each tile when putting them one beside another (when not using bitmap)?

[@DetourShirts]

I think that means you need to move them closer together or that there is a gap somewhere

[@karolinedeschenes]

@@DetourShirts I thought of that, but they're snap together with the magnet tool.

Hi Juna, I know this is an older video but I do have a pattern request; I know how to do a half drop or a quarter drop on a physical silk screen and I got your +1000 in the coordinates but if I’m doing a scenery design how would I connect the river from the right top to the left bottom?-like a quarter drop? What would the coordinates be?-250 What? To 250 what? Kinda confused and a bit more instruction would be much appreciated-Thanks for all of your tutorials!

[@DetourShirts]

I wish I knew the answer to that. I don't do physical silk screens I only do Print on Demand. Sorry

[@louisebastard2091]

just what I was looking for you are great :) ps selling 4 a day in designs :)

[@Heartoffab]

Hey Juna, I am trying to design a baby changing pad cover in affinity designer. The recommended px is 14400 by 9600. Can I use the 1000 by 1000 you speak of in this video? Would that work ?

[@DetourShirts]

If you are doing a pattern and repeating it... then yes you can

[@adhwake]

Hi Juna. very nice video and simple explanation. a question though: can this not also be done via something like photopea? just wondering why would you choose AD. ease of use?

[@DetourShirts]

I'm guessing you could... I haven't used photopea enough to know... sorry

[@omarmoustaid953]

Hello man thanks for the good content. I have a lil question, is it better to put online T-Shirts that sell seasonally and update every time according to the time in the year tat people celebrate something specefic, or to upload design that are random but they look good?

[@DetourShirts]

Depends.... the real answer is "design something that people want to buy".... seasonal designs work but so do evergreen stuff.... It's hard to say which really does better because it all depends on your design, keywords, topic, etc..... It's like saying what restaurant will do better a burger restaurant or an ice cream restaurant? They both could do really well.... The best ice cream restaurant could do better than the worst burger restaurant.... the kind of food or topic doesn't guarantee over all success or profit.

[@Joshua_theDesigner]

how do you create an artboard?

[@DetourShirts]

When you first open Affinity designer, go to new and pick a size (artboard) and get started

[@pushismano77]

so similar process I do in CorelDraw

[@DetourShirts]

Nice... glad it works there too

[@dalemyers6184]

Do you need to upscale for higher quality? I have a project I am working on for Etsy and would like to consult with you.

[@DetourShirts]

It really depend how big you want the pattern and how much you want to repeat it

[@SophieMarnez]

Hey, Juna ! I'm used to create my patterns in Canva... but I'll give a try to Affinity (although I think I can apply the same system) I have a question that is not really about creating patterns but more about using them for apparels. I wish to create very nice, warm, comfy hoodies (the polar type) with a pattern all over. And I can't seem to find a POD that offers that option. They all allow for one specific front and/or back placement... but no pattern. It's possible for a few things like legging, mini-skirts, that type of thing. Would you know a company that prints patterns on sweat shirts and hoodies ? If yes... you'll make my day ! Thanks.

[@DetourShirts]

Sorry I don't know a company off the top of my head that does an all over print for hoodies... sounds cool though.

[@SophieMarnez]

@@DetourShirts I roamed the net to find one... and I did find one that will allow to create the sweat-shirts and hoodies... with the same or different designs on each side (front and back, right and left), each sleeve, the front pocket, the hood... everywhere there is a printable place. It's Printful. OK, it's not a market place but you can create for a store or for yourself. Can't say anything about the quality but some people seem very happy. Would you have an opinion about this company ? There is also Society6... but I haven't investigated yet (seems very American and I'm in Europe). And YES... it sounds so cool to have an all-over printed sweatshirt, some patterns would look gorgeous !

[@mena376]

Does anyone know of a free software where we can make patterns similar to this?

[@DetourShirts]

I don't.... If I find one I will do a video about it because that would be cool

[@maryhardy6468]

I need to try again because everything on the edges was distorted horribly. Lol

[@DetourShirts]

[@chariots8x230]

Isn’t there a simple way to preview the pattern in real time as I’m creating it? Having to save the image each time I need to make a slight change seems tedious because I’d probably have to change it many times in order to make it work.

[@DetourShirts]

Hmmm.... I'm sure you could use symbols and see it in real time... I'll have to try it out.

[@eunoiavision7567]

I am not sure why you wanted 1000x1000. I know why you wanted a square, but why 1000x1000?
