Downloading and Accessing Your Patterns
Q: How do I access my purchased pattern?
A: After your purchase is complete and payment is confirmed, you will receive an order confirmation email containing a direct download link for your pattern(s). If you created an account, you can also log in to your account on our website and find your downloads under the “My Account” or “Downloads” section.
Q: I didn’t receive my download link! What should I do?
A: Please check your spam or junk mail folder first, as sometimes emails can end up there. Ensure the email address you used for your purchase is correct. If you still can’t find it after a few minutes, please contact us at info@stylecrumbs.com with your order number, and we’ll be happy to help.
Q: How long does the download link last?
A: To ensure you always have access to your purchased patterns, your download link remains active indefinitely. For even easier access to all your purchases, we suggest creating an account. This keeps everything neatly organized in one spot, giving you peace of mind if that download email is ever hard to find in your inbox.
Q: What software do I need to open the patterns?
A: Our patterns are typically provided in high-resolution PNG format. You can open these files with most image viewing software, photo editing software (like Photoshop, Affinity Photo, GIMP), or even your web browser. You’ll need compatible software to edit or prepare them for printing depending on your project.
Q: I’m having trouble downloading/opening the file. What should I do?
A: Try using a different web browser and make sure your image viewing/editing software is up to date. If you continue to experience issues, please contact us at info@stylecrumbs.com.
Using Your Patterns
Q: Do patterns include PDF instructions or sewing guides?
A: No, our patterns are high-resolution PNG image files intended for fabric printing or similar applications. PDF instructions or step-by-step sewing guides are not included in your purchase.
Q: What DPI do patterns have?
A: All are patterns are 300 DPI.
Q: What types of pattern repeats do you offer?
By default, our repeat style is Basic (Block) Repeats. This means the pattern tiles in a straightforward way, simply repeating side-by-side and top-to-bottom like a regular grid.
If a pattern happens to be a Half-Drop (Brick) Repeat (which creates a lovely staggered look) or uses any other tiling method, we’ll mention it right on the product page before you make your purchase. You’ll also find a separate note included with your download to help guide you with the repeat style.
Just a friendly heads-up: Not all Print-on-Demand (POD) services offer the same repeat styles. That’s why it’s a good to check what repeat styles your POD service or printing method offers before starting your project.
Q: Do patterns include PDF instructions or sewing guides?
A: No, our patterns are high-resolution PNG image files intended for fabric printing or similar applications. PDF instructions or step-by-step sewing guides are not included in your purchase.

Q: Can I use Print-on-Demand (POD) services to make products with your patterns?
A: Yes, you may use POD services (like Printful, Printify, or custom fabric printers) solely for the purpose of manufacturing physical Finished Products for your own business, within the 1,000 unit commercial license limit. The POD service acts as a production partner for your physical products.
Q: Can I upload your patterns to design licensing sites like Spoonflower or Redbubble?
