Pattern Design Guides Template (Set of 10)

Take the guesswork out of building seamless repeats with this set of 10 digital pattern design guide templates—perfect for beginners and experienced surface pattern designers alike.

These guides make it easy to plan, place, and balance your motifs so your repeating patterns look professional and flow beautifully.

This set includes 10 unique guide layouts:

• Diamond
• Ogee
• Lantern
• Square and Rounded Basket (New!)
• Bouquet
• Scallop
• Maple Leaf
• Ice Cream
• Cloud (New!)

Each guide comes in two styles—outline and solid colour—so you can choose the version that works best with your workflow.

All guides are provided in PNG format with transparent backgrounds, making them simple to insert or import into the canvas of your chosen design app. I have also provided SVG versions if you prefer to work in vector software such as Illustrator and Affinity.

To help you get started, you’ll also receive a 4-page PDF instruction guide and a link to an 8-minute video tutorial, walking you through how to use your guides step by step.
