Unlike a continuous pattern, its edges do not need to match those of the neighbouring copy.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"set-the-dimensions-and-allowances\">Set the dimensions and allowances<\/h2>\n<p>Prepare your design at its intended size, including seam allowances. If the panel should measure 40 \u00d7 40 cm after sewing and you need a 1 cm allowance on each side, prepare a 42 \u00d7 42 cm graphic.<\/p>\n<p>Extend the background to the outer edges of the panel. Keep important elements, such as text, logos or faces, away from cutting and stitching lines so they do not disappear into a seam.<\/p>\n<p>If the project needs extra bleed beyond the cutting line, allow for it separately. Its size depends on the cutting and finishing method \u2014 there is no single value for every panel.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"save-the-print-file\">Save the print file<\/h2>\n<p>Save the panel as a <strong>JPG at 100% quality and 150 DPI at the final print size<\/strong>, in RGB. Check that its dimensions fit within the <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.printella.pl\/en\/help\/materials-and-printing\/print-width-and-planning\/\">print width of your chosen fabric<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"check-the-layout-in-the-configurator\">Check the layout in the configurator<\/h2>\n<p>After uploading, check the panel\u2019s size in centimetres and its orientation. You can also set the spacing between panels in the configurator. If you are ordering several copies, set their number and then review the entire layout.
