I’m a quilt shop owner, do you offer your patterns wholesale?

If you are a shop owner and are interested in carrying my paper patterns please fill out the form on my wholesale page. Thank you and I look forward to working with you!

I’m a quilt shop owner or sewing instructor, can I use your patterns to teach classes?

Yes! My paper patterns are perfect for use in a classroom setting. All you need to do is purchase a pattern for each student participating in each class. Paper patterns are available in my wholesale shop (see above question for how to access the wholesale shop) or check with your current distributor.

Can I sell items made using your tutorials/patterns/book?

Yes, you can sell finished items using my tutorials/patterns/and book projects (all except the projects I designed for Robert Kaufman fabrics – cargo duffle, trail tote, manicure wallet, gatherer crossbody bag, tiny treasures basket/tray, Forage Bag).

If you do make an item to sell, giving design credit to me or referring to my website would be great (thank you!!!!), but is not required.

I don’t sew, do you sell any finished items?

I’m sorry at this time I do not. Perhaps you know a friend that knows how to sew? Or check Etsy, I allow those who purchase my patterns to sell them items they make.
