Every new design starts by asking how the patch is made — UV Printed or Engraved. That choice sets how your artwork renders, which materials apply, and what the export contains; you can change it any time from the big toggle in the toolbar, and it is saved with the design. From there the left panel walks you top to bottom: ① Design (the process, in context), ② Add Artwork (upload and clean up your image, or trace it for engraving), ③ Add Text & Shapes (add lettering and elements), ④ Shape & Cut (pick a shape or custom die-cut contour, set the size and cut margin), and ⑤ Material & Finish (choose the material, edge finish, and effects). Layers live in a panel on the right to reorder, lock, or hide. Then use the toolbar to price it with the $ chip, preview it on a hat, and export.
