Designs are used for clothing, umbrellas, hats, carpeting, and wallpaper, but they can be dropped on the ground. This will prevent weeds from sprouting in the area where the pattern is dropped, but it can also block flowers from growing there, and cause fruit and balloon presents to disappear if there is not enough space for them to land. The player can also display them in their house as a painting, use it as wallpaper and flooring, and hang pictures of the design on the wall.

In, players can put a design on their front door; as of now, it is the only game in the series that lets them do so.

In New Leaf, this fee has increased to 500 bells.

QR codes
New Leaf includes a new feature, which generates QR codes from both regular and pro designs. Once players speak to Sable enough times, the Able Sisters provide a new sewing machine the player can use.
