Prompt Guide: How to craft text prompts for fabric texture generation
In the world of AI-generated fabric textures, your text prompt is the starting point. The better your prompt, the closer the result will match your vision. This guide offers practical tips to help you craft effective text prompts, so you can turn your creative ideas into realistic fabric textures effortlessly.
1. Use Proper Language and Grammar
- Accurate Spelling and Precision: A misspelled word could lead to an unwanted texture. Typos will be underlined in red for easy correction.
- Example) 'houndstooth' is misspelled as 'houndstoot' and is underlined in red within the text prompt field.
2. Always use the Prompt Helper
- The Prompt Helper gives you quick choices for patterns, characteristics, and colors. Each choice has an image to make selection easy. Clicking a word adds it to your prompt.
- We suggest using at least one color from the Prompt Helper for better results.
Poor: without color |
Good: with color |
|
Prompt |
Georgette fabric with flowy, slightly crinkled texture |

Fabric Type |

3. Avoid Conflicting Keywords
- Make sure your text prompt doesn't have keywords that conflict with the "Fabric Type"
- Conflicting keywords can result in textures that don't look realistic.
- Only mix conflicting attributes (or keywords) if that's your goal.
Poor: conflicting keywords |
Good: aligning keywords |
|
Prompt |
Sherpa fabric with flat, glossy texture in sage color. |
Sherpa fabric with fluffy, textured pile in sage color. |
Fabric Type |
Sherpa | Sherpa |

4. Be Specific
- Your text prompt should state specific and clear visual elements you want to see in the fabric texture.
Poor: prompt not specific |
Good: prompt very specific |
|
Prompt |
Create a clip jacquard fabric texture with embroidery details |
Create a clip jacquard fabric texture with embroidery details, floral and leaf pattern in magenta color |
Fabric Type |
Clip Jacquard | Clip Jacquard |

Poor: prompt not specific |
Good: prompt very specific |

5. Use the “Adjust” feature to emphasize certain elements
- The "Adjust" function allows you to modify the emphasis of specific elements in your text prompt. Clicking "+" next to a word or phrase will amplify its effect, while "-" will reduce it.
- Important: To maintain style consistency across generated results while adjusting the weight, keep the Output Set No. fixed.
- You can have greater control over the phrases you want to emphasize by grouping them and inputting the weights directly to the text field.
- Use syntax "(text phrase)+"or "(text phrase)-"to emphasize or de-emphasize specific phrases.
- For example, with our automatic parsing system, "Native American Style" would be parsed as "Native", "American", "Style". However, if you use syntax to type "(Native American Style)++" it will be parsed as the entire phrase "Native American Style", and the weights will be applied accordingly.
- You can add up to three (3) '+' signs or '-' signs.
Example of Increased Emphasis
Prompt |
Generate a Jersey fabric texture with an all-over sparkling glitter effect. |
|
Fabric Type |
Jersey | |
Adjustment |
No Emphasis |
Increased Emphasis (+1) |

|

Reduced Emphasis (-1) |

6. Use the “Negative Prompt”, but use with caution
- You can also incorporate a negative prompt to exclude particular elements from the generated fabric texture, such as ‘distorted’, ‘dull’, or any visual element you don’t want to appear in the textures.
- Important:
- In the negative prompt, all words you type will act negatively towards the prompt. So, for example entering “Distorted heart pattern” would not give you a non-distorted heart pattern. Instead all words “distorted” “heart” “pattern” will act as a negative prompt.
- To maintain style consistency across generated results while using a negative prompt, keep the Output Set No. fixed.
Prompt |
Create a melton fabric texture with chevron pattern in dusty pink, ivory color |
|
Fabric Type |
Melton | |
Negative Prompt |
None |
"Distorted" |

Prompt |

Negative Prompt |

"Floral" |

7. Use Reference Image with Adjust feature
- If prompts aren't giving you the results you want or if you have a specific reference image upload your own image as a reference image.
- You can also use the adjust function to control the influence of the reference image from 'Minimal' to 'Maximal.'
- Avoid using images with folds or wrinkles, as they'll appear in the final texture.

- You can also use the adjust function to control the influence of the reference image from 'Minimal' to 'Maximal.'
