Designer Partnership Package

Join Quiltster as a Pattern Designer Partner, at no cost to you.

We provide a complimentary Quilt Planner subscription (a $99/year value) in exchange for submitting 3–5 patterns per year.

Your patterns are professionally redrafted into Quiltster’s interactive format, allowing quilters to explore your design, test fabrics, and plan their project with confidence.

Before anything is published, you’ll have the opportunity to review and approve your pattern to ensure everything matches your original design.

To get started, we recommend submitting a few of your best-selling patterns, then continuing to add new releases over time to keep your collection fresh and visible.
