The best pattern maker for fabric!

I’m a designer and I make patterns for fabric. This is so easy to use and makes quality designs that I can quickly save and upload to Spoonflower. I’m also a pattern nerd and MC Escher fan. I showed this app to some kids I teach and they loved it. It was the perfect accompaniment to my lesson about MC Escher and symmetry.

Free gem of an app

Love it!!! Thank you Jeff!!!!

Doesn’t work at all

When I open this app, it immediately opens my files and no files are selectable. There’s no actual app to use. That’s the extent of it, that’s all it does. There’s no app that opens to allow you to create anything.

Used to be a 5 star +++

Been using this for years. All it does now is open an empty page without any controls. Hope you can fix this!

Thank you , Mr Weeks

This is a fantastically useful and intuitive app. It does what it says and does it well. This is real gift. Get it, you will be glad you did.
