Terms of Service

Last Updated: August 11, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Quiltler. By accessing or using Quiltler — whether through our website and web app or our mobile apps for iPhone and iPad (collectively, the "App" or "Service") — you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our App.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Quiltler ("we," "us," or "our"). We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

2. Description of Service

Quiltler is quilt design software available on the web and as native apps for iPhone and iPad (and on Mac and Apple Vision Pro) that provides tools for designing quilts, managing fabric collections, creating patterns, buying and selling patterns, and sharing designs with other users. The App includes:

  • Quilt design canvas with drag-and-drop functionality
  • Pattern library with public and private patterns
  • Custom cut creator and library
  • Fabric and color palette management
  • Cloud synchronization of your designs
  • Export and sharing capabilities
  • Community features for browsing and sharing public designs

3. User Accounts

3.1 Account Creation

To access certain features of the App, you must create an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
  • Maintain and promptly update your account information
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Accept responsibility for all activities under your account
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account

3.2 Account Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to create an account. If you are under 18, you represent that you have obtained consent from your parent or legal guardian to use the App.

3.3 Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms or for any other reason at our sole discretion. You may also terminate your account at any time through the App settings.

4. Subscriptions and In-App Purchases

4.1 Plans

Quiltler offers a free tier and two optional paid subscription plans. The features and pricing below are current as of the last-updated date and are displayed at the point of purchase within the App; they may be updated from time to time.

  • Free: Design without limits, build an unlimited fabric library, see on-screen yardage, and save your first quilt — no payment required.
  • Quilter (premium): Currently $7.99 USD per month or $49.99 USD per year. Adds unlimited saved and synced quilts, printable pattern packs and cutting instructions, imports and publishing, watermark-free exports, and the ability to buy patterns in the marketplace.
  • Designer (professional): Currently $11.99 USD per month or $99.00 USD per year. Includes everything in Quilter, plus the ability to list and sell patterns in the Quiltler marketplace at a reduced platform fee and access to seller tools such as listing statistics.

Some features may be available only on certain platforms or plans. If your Designer subscription lapses, access to Designer-only selling tools and the reduced marketplace fee ends, and standard marketplace terms apply.

4.2 How You Are Billed

The way your subscription is billed, managed, and cancelled depends on where you purchased it:

Purchases on the web (quiltler.com)

  • Web subscriptions are processed by our payment provider, Stripe, using the payment method you provide
  • Your payment method is charged at confirmation of purchase, and again at the start of each renewal period
  • Subscriptions automatically renew (monthly or yearly, depending on the plan you choose) until you cancel
  • You can view, change, or cancel your subscription and update your payment method in your account settings within the web app
  • We do not store your full card details; payment information is handled directly by Stripe

Purchases through the Apple App Store (iPhone, iPad, Mac)

  • Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID account
  • Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase
  • Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period
  • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period
  • You can manage subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple ID account settings

A subscription purchased through one platform is managed and cancelled through that same platform. Access to premium features tied to your account applies across the web and apps where supported.

4.3 Free Trials

We may offer free trial periods for subscriptions. If you do not cancel before the trial period ends, you will be charged the subscription fee using the payment method associated with your purchase (Stripe for web purchases, or your Apple ID for App Store purchases). You may cancel at any time during the trial period without being charged.

4.4 Refunds

For subscriptions purchased on the web through Stripe, refund requests are handled by us — please contact hello@quiltler.com. Except where required by law, fees are generally non-refundable, but you will retain access to premium features for the remainder of the period you have already paid for.

For subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store, all purchases are processed by Apple and are subject to Apple's refund policies. We do not directly process these refunds. To request a refund, please contact Apple Support or visit reportaproblem.apple.com.

4.5 Price Changes

We reserve the right to change subscription prices at any time. Price changes will be communicated to you in advance and will take effect at your next renewal date. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel before it takes effect.

5. User Content

5.1 Your Content

"User Content" means any content you create, upload, or share through the App, including but not limited to quilt designs, patterns, fabric images, and descriptions. You retain all ownership rights in your User Content.

5.2 License to Your Content

By uploading or sharing User Content through the App, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, display, reproduce, and distribute your User Content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the App's services.

5.3 Public Content

When you choose to make content public (e.g., sharing patterns with the community), you grant other users the right to view and use your shared patterns within the App. You can change content from public to private at any time.

5.4 Content Restrictions

You agree not to upload or share content that:

  • Infringes on any intellectual property rights or proprietary rights of others
  • Contains offensive, defamatory, or inappropriate material
  • Violates any applicable laws or regulations
  • Contains malicious code, viruses, or harmful components
  • Misrepresents your identity or affiliation

5.5 Content Monitoring

We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor, review, or remove User Content that violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable. We may remove content without notice.

5A. Pattern Marketplace

Quiltler operates a marketplace where users can buy and sell editable quilt patterns. These terms apply in addition to the rest of these Terms whenever you buy or sell in the marketplace.

5A.1 Sellers

Listing patterns for sale requires an active Designer subscription and completion of our payment onboarding (through Stripe, including any identity and tax information Stripe requires). As a seller, you represent and warrant that you own or have all rights necessary to sell each pattern you list, that your patterns do not infringe anyone else's intellectual property or other rights, and that your listings are accurate and not misleading. You set your own prices. You retain ownership of your patterns and grant buyers the license described in Section 5A.3, and grant us a license to host, display, market, and deliver your patterns for the purpose of operating the marketplace.

5A.2 Marketplace Fees and Payouts

When one of your patterns sells, we retain a platform fee and remit the remainder to you through our payment provider. The standard platform fee is 10% of the sale price; active Designer subscribers pay a reduced platform fee of 5%. Payment-processing fees charged by Stripe may also apply. We may offer an individual seller a lower fee at our discretion. Payouts are made to the payment account you connect, subject to our payment provider's schedules, minimums, and holds. The current fee applicable to a sale is shown to you before you confirm a listing or price.

5A.3 Buyers and Pattern License

When you purchase a pattern, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to open, edit, and use that pattern within Quiltler, and to make physical quilts from it — including quilts you sell — unless the listing states otherwise. You may not resell, redistribute, share, or sublicense the pattern file itself, or upload it to the marketplace or elsewhere as your own. Ownership of the pattern remains with the seller.

5A.4 Refunds and Chargebacks

Because patterns are digital goods delivered immediately, marketplace purchases are generally final and non-refundable except where required by law or where a pattern is materially not as described. Refund requests may be directed to hello@quiltler.com. If a buyer initiates a chargeback or payment dispute, we may reverse the corresponding seller payout and any related creator commission, remove access to the disputed pattern, and, for repeated or fraudulent disputes, suspend the account involved.

5A.5 Our Role

Quiltler provides the marketplace platform and payment facilitation; the sale is between the buyer and the seller. We are not the author of user-listed patterns and do not guarantee their quality, accuracy, or fitness for a particular project. We may remove listings, refuse or reverse transactions, and suspend marketplace access to enforce these Terms or address suspected infringement or fraud.
