Haha... CMM... my story is the same as your story... just one chapter behind! ( OMG! I can't believe I got to use that! )

I was really disappointed in my Ange print... the turquoise was black-green and the paisleys were really bright instead of desaturated...eventually it grew on me and the waistcoat turned out to be be blue-black so the darker background was actually in my favor. Some weathering up could desaturate the paisleys but now that I have the SA stuff on the way, I'm not too concerned about that.

The first thing you did wrong though, it looks like, is adjusting the dpi... I resized my sample images to scale with a ruler I held up on my screen to try to match the measurements. When you upload an image, it sets it to be HUGE...which looks like what happened to yours.

I read through TONS of reviews of SF and saw that cotton prints often turned out darker, which looks like what happened with yours. Either that, or the amount of dark blue just bled into the brown...but all being such a dark hue with the amount of texture in it... I'm kind of not surprised it turned out that way... But I still kinda am that it turned out THAT crappy. At least you got a refund... which is the chapter I didn't venture into. I just dealt with it.

I, however, had much better luck with my print! I went with the sateen and the colour was much more accurate in printing and the quality of the print is very crisp. It's actually a little bit BRIGHTER than I had hoped...but my file was a bit bright to begin with anyways, in retrospect.

Here are some photos... if anyone wants to use it, let me know and I'll link you.









I think a good weathering would really improve the look of it, too... but I'm super inexperienced in that area...as in... have never even attempted it before... but maaaybe I'll have to give it a go to try to darken it up.

edit: the last two pics were taken with my new Sony camera which makes EVERYTHING stupidly bright because you can't adjust the flash level and... I may have left the EV too high for most of the pictures before I noticed and re-adjusted it... >_>

Hello! someone still has the patterns? Thanks

Hello! someone still has the patterns? Thanks   

You can use my pattern if you like. I've managed to make my own embroidered waistcoat so no longer need to print one, and I don't see the harm in sharing the resource. My image linked below is 100% tileable, so you can repeat the pattern over and over and it should come out flawless. If you use it, let me know!
