With Spoonflower, you can have your favorite design printed on any of the fabrics in our inventory. To place an order, you'll need to locate a design and then select the fabric type, fabric size, and the quantity of pieces or length of continuous fabric before adding it to your cart.
Note: While a design may preview well on our screen, the only way to know how colors will print on certain products is to review a sample. This is why we always recommend ordering test swatches first to ensure the fabric type, color, layout, and design scale meet your expectations.

Step 1: Choosing Your Design
At Spoonflower, you can have your fabric printed with a design from our design library or you can upload your own design. How you locate your design will depend on if you are ordering another Artist's design or your own, so read the section below that applies to you.
Spoonflower Artist's Designs
Input some keywords into the search bar on our site to help narrow down the options. Check out the Searching The Spoonflower Site article for some tips and tricks and once you've located the design you'd like to purchase, skip down to step 2 below.
Personal Designs
If you'd like to order your own design, you can either upload a new one or access a previously uploaded one from your Design Library.
- Click on the fabric Edit button to open the design layout window
- Review and adjust the Repeat and Scale as needed
- Confirm the image window and click Save if changes were made
- Back on the Design Edit page shown above, click the Buy button for fabric. A new window will open with the product page and you can continue through the steps below to add a fabric item to your cart.
Step 2: Choosing Fabric Type
After you have chosen a design, you will need to select the fabric type for your order. There will always be a default fabric listed and it sometimes changes from one design to the next, so pay close attention to be sure it's the fabric you want! The default fabric is chosen by the designer, so in some cases they have chosen this based on the layout of their design and the width of the fabric.
-
Click the small arrow in the Change Fabric button to open the Select a Fabric menu
- Type the fabric into the Quick-search fabrics field or scroll to view your options
- Click the thumbnail image next to the fabric you want and return to the product page
Step 3: Choosing a Fabric Size
Under the SIZE header, you can choose the fabric size that meets your project needs:
- Yard (36" in length, width varies)
- Meter (100cm in length, width varies)
- Fat Quarter (1/4 of a yard - please note size can vary based on fabric width)
- Swatch (8" x 8", 20 cm x 20 cm)
Designers save the scale of their design on fabric and this scale will be the same on any amount chosen. Designs are not rescaled to fit on different sized items. The preview image showing the scissors can be helpful for determining scale - you can imagine that the scissors stay the same size as the amount of fabric changes.
In the example below, the same design is shown on a yard and a swatch. While it looks like the logos are smaller in the first image, it is just because the amount of fabric is larger. Compared to the scissors, the logos are the same size.
Note that the slight waves are to protect the artist’s copyright. Pay attention to the preview image! When a design appears to be cut off or shows white space in the image preview, this is how it will print.
NOTE: We are not able to print in half yard increments, but you can create a Fill-A-Yard® project to have more than one design printed on a yard of fabric.
Step 4: Selecting Quantity
Finally, adjust the quantity* with the +/- buttons or type a number in the box under QUANTITY, as shown below. Then, click Add to Cart to add the item to your cart. Once you are ready with all of your items, you can complete the checkout process.
*Note: When it comes to quantity, please keep the following points in mind:
- Swatches are printed and cut individually. If you select Swatch and enter "4" in the QUANTITY box , you will receive four separate, identically printed swatches.
- Fat Quarters are also printed and cut individually. If you select Fat Quarter and enter "4" in the QUANTITY box, you will receive four separate, identically printed Fat Quarters.
- For continuous yards/meters, select Yard or Meter and enter the continuous desired length into QUANTITY. For example, entering "4" into this field will print 4 continuous yards/meters.
- For individual yards/meters, keep in mind that the cart will combine all items with the same design and fabric into continuous yardage. If you need separate pieces, you need to place a separate order for each piece with the same design and fabric. For example, if you want four 1-yard pieces, enter "1" for AMOUNT, click "Add to Cart" and check out. Then, repeat this for 3 additional separate orders.
