Why Designers Love Quiltster
If you’re a quilt pattern designer looking to expand your reach, elevate your brand, and offer quilters an unforgettable experience, Quiltster is the platform for you.
At Quiltster, we partner with pattern designers to bring your quilt patterns into a new dimension—literally. Our online Quilt Planner transforms your commercially available designs into interactive digital projects, allowing quilters to experiment with color and fabric placement before they ever cut a piece of fabric.
Turn Inspiration Into Interaction
When quilters use the Quilt Planner, they build a personal connection to your design. They can drag and drop fabric into every section of your pattern to create their own custom look. This kind of engagement deepens loyalty to your brand and gives your patterns new life with every colorway imagined.
