What is Quiltster?
Quiltster is an online Quilt Planner and Marketplace that helps quilters visualize fabrics in quilt patterns before buying supplies.
Choose from predesigned patterns, experiment with fabric combinations, preview your finished quilt and generate accurate yardage charts all in one place.
Whether you’re planning your next quilt, creating kits for customers, or showcasing fabric collections, Quiltster helps bring quilt ideas to life before cutting a single piece of fabric.
Why Designers Love Quiltster
Quilters Visualize Your Designs
Quilters audition fabric and play with color palettes directly in your pattern, allowing them to see the look of the finished quilt and making it easier to say yes.
We Handle the Digitizing
Send us your pattern and our team does the heavy lifting. We redraft your design for the Quilt Planner and prepare it for your review prior to publishing.
We Send Quilters Your Way
When quilters are ready to purchase a pattern, Quiltster directs them to your website or preferred sales channel to complete the purchase.
Your Designs Stay Protected
Quilters access planning tools like yardage charts, but they cannot download, access, or reproduce your original pattern files, instructions, templates, or construction methods. They only see the same planning-level info they'd receive after purchasing your pattern.
Built-In Marketing Support
When your pattern goes live, we help introduce it to the Quiltster audience through our website, newsletters, blog, and social channels and we encourage you to do the same for maximum impact.
Complimentary Subscription
Designer partners receive a complimentary Quiltster subscription while actively participating in the program.
