How to Import Patterns Into the Silhouette Studio Library
In this tutorial, learn how to import patterns to Silhouette Studio in 3 Easy Steps!
The Silhouette Studio Library is preloaded with Fill Patterns for a wide selection of creative opportunities. Fill Patterns work with both text and objects. They are particularly great for print and cut projects. You do have the option to import Patterns into the library. However this feature is restricted to Designer Edition.
In this tutorial we will show you how to import patterns into the Silhouette Studio Library.
Step 1 - Import and upload the pattern to your Library
The Pattern fill can be found under the Fill Panel on the right hand side. You will find a selection of patterns already available. Adding more patterns to your Library is very quick and easy.
Todo this, click File at the top left side of the screen, select Library and Import to Library.
Navigate to where your pattern is stored and select the pattern.We chose to use ageometric seamless pattern. If you want to use another design we have a lovely selection of Scrapbook backgrounds to choose from.
Step 2 - Add the pattern to the correct category
The chosen patternwill be added to your Silhouette Studio Library. Open your Library and find the folder that the pattern was uploaded to. Next, drag and drop the pattern into the Patterns Category. This will tell Silhouette to add it to the Pattern fill panel.
Step 3 - Locate and use your new pattern
Once you have typed out your text, be sure to select it. Next, open the Fill Panel then selectthe Pattern Fill icon.Scroll down to the bottom.Patterns that are added to the Library will appear here. You can also use photos and import in the same way as patterns.Click on the new pattern to add the fill to your text.
