The Quiltler ecosystem

A studio for the hobby. Three doors if it becomes the work.

Quiltler is desktop quilt design software with a mobile companion — the place you audition fabrics, calculate yardage and finish a quilt that is actually sewable. The same account also runs an affiliate program, a pattern marketplace, and a partner program for fabric companies. You open those when you want them, not before.

The hobby

Most people who open Quiltler never sell a thing. That is the point.

The studio exists so a quilter can go from an idea to a cutting list without guessing yardage or redrawing a block by hand. Career tools sit behind their own doors so they never get in the way of making a quilt for the bed.

Design, stash, cut

Lay out a quilt at any size, paint it with photographs of fabric you own, and get yardage, backing, binding and a printable pack. The companion app on iPhone and iPad keeps the same library in your pocket at the shop.

Learn, browse, buy

Free block guides and calculators, video tutorials, a community gallery, and a pattern market where a purchase opens in the studio so you can recolour it with your own prints — not a PDF you cannot edit.

The career

Three programs, three jobs. They are not the same door.

Quiltler pays quilters in three different ways because those are three different businesses. Pick the one that matches the work you already do — or join more than one. Each is self-serve from the same signed-in account.

They stack

A pattern designer often uses all three without noticing

You draft in the studio because that is how you work. You list the pattern because that is how you are paid. You share the affiliate link in the same Instagram post because the people who buy the pattern may also want the software. A fabric company embedding the designer is a different customer — they are selling cloth, not subscriptions — which is why that program has its own portal and its own prices.

  • One Quiltler account. Three dashboards, joined independently.
  • Affiliate payouts and pattern sales both run through Stripe Express — you connect once.
  • The marketplace trust page is public on purpose: it is the reason a designer who is tired of fake shops will list here, and the reason a hobby quilter will buy here.

The community is the hobby side of the same loop: designs, fabrics and cuts moving between quilters who may never sell anything.

Questions

Hobby, career, and the line between them

Do I have to pick a program to use Quiltler?

No. Designing, saving, calculating fabric and buying a pattern from someone else are the product. The three earning programs are extra doors on the same account.

What is the partner program if I am not a fabric company?

It is not for individuals sharing Quiltler or selling patterns. It is for companies that want the designer embedded on their website, loaded only with their fabrics. If that is not you, you want affiliate or selling.

Where is the live partner demo?

At quiltler.com/partner-demo. It is the same designer a shopper would see on a fabric company's collection page, with the analytics that sit behind it.

Start as a quilter. Open the other doors later.

The studio is ready now. The affiliate program, the seller program and the partner program wait on the same login until you need them.
