GENERAL FAQ
About Us (Designs For Textiles)
What can I find on your web site?
In our web site specialized in fabric designs, you can find 3 types of designs: Jacquard Designs, Repeating Patterns, Fabric Texture.
Does Designs For Textiles only sell through an online store?
Yes, our project has been specially designed to minimize waste, time and costs. This has allowed us to give a product of the highest quality at a price that other companies that create designs for fabrics can not offer, for their high management costs.
Does Designs For Textiles have a main office that I can physically go to if I need to?
Designs For Textiles is a very modern project that was born with a decentralized system of management, thanks to modern technologies. Therefore we don’t really have a central office but different personal units that united in a decentralized online network collaborate to provide the best product and service to our customers and in the fastest way possible. This methodology allows us to give the best service and product, both in terms of implementation and online support. Moreover, for the type of product we propose, this methodology is perfect.
Has Design For Textiles been around long?
Designs For Textiles as a project was born in mid-2020, but it comes from an experience gained in over 20 years of work in the textile industry, and that allows us to have the highest operational and product quality thanks to a considerable experience in both textile and technology. A combination that has given birth to an innovative and unique project, Design For Textiles!
About Jacquard Designs
What are Jacquard designs?
Jacquard designs are special technical designs used to represent the evolution of the weave of a Jacquard type fabric. They are the basis for the subsequent weaving of a fabric using Jacquard looms.
Who uses Jacquard Designs?
Jacquard designs are used by the weaving mills/textile companies that produce the fabric.
What are the Jacquard Designs used for?
Jacquard designs, which are the graphic coding of a fabric, are used to later create the cards, i.e. the data that a Jacquard loom needs in order to automatically weave a fabric.
Who needs Jacquard designs?
Jacquard designs serve all professionals working in the textile industry, in textile companies, which produce Jacquard fabrics.
Can Jacquard designs be useful in other graphics areas?
No, because their graphical representation is mainly of a technical nature and is not directly usable in other areas, unless specifically converted to “normal” drawing.
Are Jacquard designs also defined by other words?
Yes, the most used and ancient term to define them in the technical field is: MESSINCARTA JACQUARD, which is a word in the Italian language.
Why has the word MESSINCARTA become the symbol of technical design for textiles in the West?
Because historically Italy, over a long period of time, has become the leading nation in the production of Jacquard fabrics and also of other types, thanks to the particular quality, creativity, technological and product development of its fabrics, at a worldwide level.
About Shop
What can I find in your shop?
In our store you will mainly find textile-type materials, meshes and add ons for use with various three-dimensional graphics software.
In your online shop can I find free samples to try out your designs?
Currently not yet, but it is possible in the future.
I saw that all the designs you propose have various licenses, how to choose them?
First of all, we recommend that you read in detail the characteristics of the various licenses that you find on this page.
However, in general, the designs with standard licenses have a “standard” quality, even if already for professional use, and are generally for web/personal/advertising use, while the other types of licenses have an even higher visual quality of the design and allow a commercial use of the product. (That is, you can resell your creations/products that use our designs)

What happens if I accidentally purchase a design with a license that is not appropriate for my use?
In case you buy a standard license at a lower price and want to buy a higher license, you can contact us from HERE, and we will activate the procedures to send you the new files after payment of the difference in price of the higher license.
In case you purchase a higher priced license, the reverse process does not take place, i.e. we do not refund the difference in price of a lower license because the higher license already has all the files (in better quality) with additional files added in some cases compared to the standard license.

If I purchase a design, but later realize it wasn’t what I wanted, can I change it?
Unfortunately not, since we cannot return the purchased design, since they are computer files, we cannot logically make an exchange because you would have with a single purchase two or more different designs. Therefore, before buying a design, evaluate well if it is the one you want, since you have all the information and many sample images that make it easy to understand the type of design, the final result, even with more practical examples.
I can return a purchased design and get my money back.
Unfortunately not, as you have all the data and very clear preview images to be able to understand 100% if it’s the type of design for you. In case you have doubts before buying you can contact us for more information HERE
I’ve downloaded the purchased drawings but they don’t work, I can’t find them, or other similar problems, how can I fix it?
If you have problems with the downloaded files, first of all you can try to unzip the downloaded file again to try to solve the error, or you can download again from your customer profile in your bulletin board in our site and unzip the archive file containing the files again, or if this also does not solve your specific problem, you can contact us through the form at the bottom of this page to expose your problem and we will solve it.
How do I use the files? After downloading I see a single file with the extension .zip. I don’t know how to do it.
All the designs have been compressed into a single file that contains the folder with all the purchased files. To use them you have to unzip the files in your computer in a folder of your choice. If you use Windows you can do it directly with the procedure that Windows proposes, if you have Mac the same. Otherwise you can also download for example the free software 7zip (from this link) and use this program to easily unzip your purchased designs.
