Full Block Repeat

Two similar units of pattern are designed to match side by side.

With full block repeat patterns, all drops will be the same, so you will be cutting them in sequence.

Half Drop Repeat

Each unit of pattern is designed to match halfway down another unit of pattern.

With half drop repeat patterns, there will be two different drops, hung alternately. This means there is the option of cutting the drops in sequence (1, 2, 3 etc.) or alternately (1, 3, 5 etc. followed by 2, 4, 6 etc.).
