Promoting Your Patterns with Quiltster

This guide walks you through simple steps and even includes sample text you can copy and paste to get started right away.

All it takes is adding two small touches to your pattern pages:

  • A “Create a Quiltster Project” button
  • The “Quiltster Compatible” badge

With those in place, your customers can start planning their quilts in Quiltster the moment they discover your pattern!

The concept is: Why Wait to Create?

Encourage customers to start planning while they wait for their pattern to ship or, if they’re undecided, a little quilt planning might be the nudge they need to complete the purchase as they peruse your website.

By adding this button and badge next to patterns you have in Quiltster, you are offering customers the chance to start creating right away!

  • Help them experience your patterns in a new and fun way
  • Help them find all your featured patterns in Quiltster
  • Show that your brand is connected to innovative digital tools that enhance their quilting experience

They don’t have to place a beloved new pattern on a long project list and wait until inspiration strikes. Instead, they can jump straight into Quiltster, audition fabrics, and bring their project to life before the paper pattern ever hits their doorstep.

Add a "Create a Quiltster Project" Button

Place a [Create a Quiltster Project] button on the pattern detail page as a secondary call to action to any pattern that’s available in Quiltster. Make sure the button clicks through to the exact detail page for your pattern on Quiltster.com. We recommend having the button open a new tab rather than opening over the page on your website.  With a single click, your customers will be directed to your pattern on Quiltster.com and start customizing.

Quick Check-list

  1. Add a [Create a Quiltster Project] button to the pattern detail page on your website.
  2. Link the button directly to the matching pattern detail page on Quiltster.com.
  3. Include a short note with the button so customers know exactly what will happen when they click, preventing confusion and helping them feel confident, creative, and excited!

To help get you started, here are a few text suggestions for your pattern detail pages that you can use, mix and match or edit to better fit your brand voice:
