I completely understand because it’s not cheap and you don’t want to waste it!

Bonus Tip: Some vinyl suppliers may already have photos of full sheets of vinyl on their websites in which case you can use those instead of having to take your own! (as long as it’s high enough resolution)

    • It sounds like you are uploading as an image instead of as a pattern. Make sure when you upload you go to “upload pattern” (right side of page)
