What is pattern?

A pattern is something that can repeat itself an infinite number of times: an image that we can apply to any surface infinitely. The basic element that is repeated is known as the rapport: this is the image or tile that is reproduced.

Juliet suggests you use one of many websites that will send you your downloaded patterns printed in the right paper format. You can then cut them out and use them as you wish.
