This is amazing, Teela! Mind-blowing in every way!!!❤ I can’t imagine all the work that went behind creating this awesome tester and the class to accompany it. Thank you so much, I can’t wait to try it!!!

[WhaChuUpTo]

Wow Teela! This is a lifesaver!!! I've just started teaching myself making patterns so i can make a wallpaper for my bathroom makeover and this is such a godsend.

[stephanielynn]

This is incredible! Love the ability to edit directly in the testing site

[deecozy]

Game changer!! So excited to get into the course.

[Kathschannel]

I’m going to get a lot of good use out of this technique. I like creating my own patterns for mixed media projects, so this will be so useful. Thanks Teela.

[goldenavocado]

Wow thank you so much for this tool! I can't wait to try it!

[pearlshaynea]

Amazing tool! Thanks so much for the tutorial!

[wanderingcreativity]

This is so cool! Thank you so much for making this web app Teela! Admire the simplicity and versatility of seeing the patterns in the templates and the process! An excellent companion resource for the procreate app! Gratefully appreciated 😊

[Kdmud]

Wow! This is so cool! Thank you…so happy I’m taking your FPinP course!!👏🏽🥰

[kerrykolii]

This is brilliant! I have just started learning repeat patterns and have used your tester for the first time, thank you for sharing I shall be using it a lot 😊x

[Kathschannel]

That is a really cool video. Way easier that try to do it all in procreate.

[ingridmonsalve]

Hello, siempre uso tu probador de patrones!!! Pero hace unos días, no me funciona se habrá desconfigurado algo??😢 Tampoco puedo copiar capas entre un lienzo y otro, thanks

[JustJuveeee]

Please make tutorial on how to make mock-ups on procreate

[karencopeland]

What size canvas do I need in order to take my drawing over to Kdp as my cover? Do I download as a jpeg or pdf? My book size is 6x9. Thanks

[sujatadas]

Hello Teela this is really fun to do thank you! Just an observation, you have your pattern on top of a layer filled with color so when you flatten the layers the pattern and color go together as one. I usually change color on the ‘background’ so my flattened image had no color in the background just black. 😅

[melanieklarofficial]

But what if it doesnt line up when you test it?

[DistractedCrafter]

Wow! This just takes things to a whole other level. I bought the class yesterday and I can’t wait to dive in. I have a question though. If you’re reaching your layer limit, can you just copy canvas and paste instead of duplicating and flatten the group? Is there a quality difference in doing it one way vs another? Thanks!

[calaelswick]

Hello! What color profile do you recommend for creating seamless digital files to be used for printing?

[dgsquare]

That's a fantastic tool! Thank you for creating it!! Does it work only with procreate layers? No other apps? And only on ipads?

[mairawaleed]
