How Spoonflower Fill a Yard works

Spoonflower Fill a Yard is a game changer when it comes to ordering fabric proofs. Instead of buying individual swatches, you have the option to fill an entire yard with multiple designs. This means you can test out different patterns, colors, and materials without breaking the bank.

The process is simple. You start by uploading your designs to the Spoonflower platform and add the design to a collection. For example, my designs in need of proofing go into a private collection I call “For Templating”. From there, you can choose multiple designs to fill the yard, up to 42 designs. Spoonflower takes care of the rest, printing your chosen designs onto high-quality fabric. This innovative solution allows you to see your designs in real life, giving you a better sense of how they will look before committing to a larger order, and for artists who need to proof designs before they are available for sale, this is a huge cost saver compared to paying $5 per swatch.
