I'm going through a lot of patterns to find one I like, so I'm making a lot of variations to put it in my color scheme, and I keep hitting my variation creating limit!! I worked on some last night and hit it, and then today just did ONE, and when I tried to do a second it told me I couldn't. I'm not submitting them, I'm just testing them!!

Is there any way around this?
Is there any way testing a variation could be it's own thing (limitless) and actually submitting the variation could be what's limited.

It's been extremely frustrating not being able even start a project because I can't test the colors I want to use.

The limit is actually on how many times you click "add a variation". It does not count how many you actually submit, which gives you an option to sneak around it.

One general advice: if you want to test two or more colour combinations for the same pattern, I recommend doing that in the same variation instead of clicking "add variation" again. I noticed for some patterns you added multiple variations. If you just want to test them out, you don't need to submit them. Just change the colours, take a screenshot, change the colours, take a screenshot and so on.

A way you can get around the variation limit: you can recreate the pattern from scratch in the generator. If you put the exact same knots, the generator will still recognise it as a variation. This is mostly useful, for patterns that are not very complex or big, because for those it is easier to do it without making mistakes.

Thank you for the reply! Yes I figured the limit was on clicking the "add a variation" button, as that's where I've been getting stuck. I only submit them once I've tested everything and am ready to make it ☺️. For this instance I know I want to work with blues so I've been opening a lot of patterns I like the shapes of and then trying out blues, so I've been clicking the add a variation button a lot haha.

I might try out the generator! Great idea.
