Three choices that make a better pattern
- Match detail to your experience. Use simple mode for broad pieces and stronger shapes; save tiny details for advanced projects.
- Describe the format. Say whether you need a round suncatcher, a tall panel, or a horizontal transom so the design begins with the right proportions.
- Plan the handoff. Convert the design to an editable SVG template, then export PDF, SVG, PNG, or DXF for your preferred workflow.
Questions from makers
How do I turn a stained glass idea into a cutting pattern?
Start with a clear subject, choose simple or detailed panes based on your skill level, then generate a design and convert it into an editable vector template. Review the lead lines and piece sizes before exporting a printable pattern.
What makes a stained glass pattern beginner-friendly?
Beginner-friendly patterns have fewer pieces, larger glass panes, strong lead lines, and simple shapes. Floral motifs, geometric panels, and simple silhouettes are usually easier first projects than highly detailed scenes.
Can I make a stained glass pattern from a photo?
Yes. Upload a photo to create a stained glass interpretation, then refine the resulting vector template in the editor before exporting it for your workflow.
