Adding Patterns to Silhouette Studio

Here is the addition to my Fill Windows lesson. Filling shapes with patterns is a fun option in Silhouette Studio, so why not also use the patterns you love from your digital pattern paper collection?

This process is better with the Designer Edition, but there is also a way to add patterns to your Library with the Basic Edition. I’ve included a short video for each method below so you can watch the one that applies to your version. (If you’re considering upgrading to the Designer Edition, this may be a good reason to do so.)

Please note that I do not advise adding your entire digital paper collection to Silhouette Studio’s Library or Pattern Library. They are typically large files that can potentially slow down loading times for Studio if you add a lot. I suggest only loading your favorites that you will likely use multiple times, or just add them temporarily and then delete the papers you won’t use again.
