Everything Quiltler offers

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

Quiltler is quilt design software for your computer, with an app for iPhone and iPad — the place you try out fabrics, work out yardage and finish a quilt you can actually sew. The same account also lets you sell patterns in the Marketplace, and there is a separate service for fabric companies. You only need those if you want them.

The hobby

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

Quiltler is here so you can go from an idea to a cutting chart without guessing yardage or redrawing a block by hand. The selling tools stay out of sight, 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 pattern. The app on iPhone and iPad keeps the same quilts and fabrics with you at the shop.

Learn, browse, buy

Free block guides and calculators, video tutorials, a community gallery, and a pattern Marketplace where a pattern you buy opens in Quiltler so you can recolor it with your own prints — not a PDF you cannot change.

The career

Two programs, two jobs. They are not the same door.

Quiltler offers two different ways to earn, because they are two different kinds of work. Pick the one that matches what you already do. You can sign up for either yourself, from the same Quiltler account.

Seller program

Sell patterns

For designers who already write patterns — in Quiltler, EQ8, or anywhere else — and want them found by quilters who will sew them.

  • Your PDFs or Quiltler designs
  • Buyers can recolor your Quiltler patterns
  • 5% fee on the Designer plan
  • Purchased patterns cannot be resold

Put the designer on your site

For fabric companies and shops that want shoppers to audition their prints in a real quilt, on their own site.

  • Your collections as the only palette
  • See which prints shoppers choose
  • Free plan, no card
  • Your brand and your own domain

They stack

For a pattern designer, designing and selling happen in one place

You draft in the studio because that is how you work. You list the pattern because that is how you are paid. A buyer opens it in Quiltler and recolors it with their own stash. A fabric company that puts the designer on its website is different — they are selling fabric, not patterns — which is why that program has its own sign-up and its own prices.

  • One Quiltler account. Join each program on its own, only if you want it.
  • Money from pattern sales is paid straight to your bank account. You set that up once.
  • The marketplace trust page is public on purpose: it shows how we keep out copied patterns and fake shops, so designers feel safe selling here and quilters feel safe buying.

The community is where quilters share quilts, fabrics and shapes with each other, and most of them never sell anything.

I already sell, or I want to

Sell quilt patterns →
Fabric company

We sell cloth, not software

The fabric company portal puts the designer on your site with your collections. You can try a live demo before you add anything to your site.

Questions

Hobby, career, and the line between them

Do I have to pick a program to use Quiltler?

No. Designing, saving, working out fabric and buying a pattern from someone else is what Quiltler is for. The earning programs are optional extras on the same account.

What is the fabric company portal if I am not a fabric company?

It is not for individuals or pattern sellers. It is for companies that want the designer on their own website, loaded only with their fabrics. If you write patterns, you want 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 sales numbers the company sees behind it.

Start as a quilter. Open the other doors later.

The studio is ready now. The seller program and the fabric company program are there on the same account whenever you need them.
