# 3dawg Pattern Studio: Seamless pattern maker with a live repeat

> 3dawg Pattern Studio is an online seamless pattern maker. You design on one square tile sized in inches with a live wrap-around preview, so the repeat has no seams, then use the pattern as a fill on shapes and text in any 3dawg builder, recoloring it and swapping placeholder images for each use.

## Features

- **Live wrap-around**: Art crossing an edge appears on the opposite side, and the margin shows the repeat continuing.
- **Sized in inches**: The tile is a real size, so the repeat prints at the scale you designed.
- **Use it as a fill**: Fill any shape or text in the Design Studio, Print Builder or templates.
- **Recolor every use**: Vector colors in the pattern can be changed each time you use it.
- **Image placeholders**: Mark images as slots and drop a different photo in for each use.

## How it works

1. **Set the tile size**: Pick how big one repeat is, in inches.
2. **Design the tile**: Add art and text; anything over the edge wraps around.
3. **Save and use**: Use the pattern as a fill anywhere in 3dawg, or print it by the yard.

## Who it's for

- **Surface designers**: Seamless repeats without manual offset tricks.
- **Clothing brands**: All-over prints for a collection.
- **Sublimation crafters**: Backgrounds that tile perfectly.

## Questions

### How do I make a seamless repeating pattern?

Use the 3dawg Pattern Studio. Design on one square tile; anything crossing an edge comes back on the opposite side, so the repeat has no seams. Save it and use it as a fill anywhere.

### Can I print my pattern on fabric?

Yes. Fill a layout or garment with it and order custom printed fabric by the yard in the Print Builder.
