Quilting Patterns & Thread

We've all been there.

Choosing a pattern for your quilt doesn't need to be stressful. If you are stuck trying to pick between two patterns, simply select both! This will let us know to compare both patterns to your quilt top and make a selection based on our experience with quilt top types. Naturally, we will confirm with you before quilting.

All quilters and quilts are different. Sometimes, a quilter knows exactly the pattern they want. This is not always the case.

Some quilters give us full permission to apply any quilt pattern we choose, using our best judgement based on the quilt top.

Some quilters like to guide us a little in this selection process by giving us an idea of the category of the patterns they prefer.

For your convenience, our order form has a section for comments in the pattern selection because your guidance is intrinsic to the quilting process.

Picking out patterns takes a great deal of time and research. And we're still doing it all the time! It can become an addiction.

If you see or know of a pattern that you would like to use, but is not listed here, just let us know. Describe it in the comments section of the Order Form and we will do our very best to locate and acquire it for you.

Creating digital quilt patterns is an art in and of itself. We acquire our patterns from a group of incredibly talented pattern makers. Anyone is welcome to peruse through the pattern maker sites. (Beware...it's an addiction in the making!)

See one you like? Let us know on the order form!

At this time, we do not. All of our patterns are edge to edge offerings (E2E). They will cover the quilt from border to border, top to bottom.

Although we don't offer it, we love custom quilting. We will be adding a list of custom quilters from around the country here soon.

We use the same color and type of thread on both the top and the bottom to ensure proper stitch quality and tension. Different threads - even of the same brand and type - can and will cause tension issues. It can't be guaranteed that throughout the entire quilt, only one color thread will show through on each side. To ensure quality, we use one thread for both the top and bottom.

We do offer Variegated Thread! Variegated Thread can be a lot of fun, and there are some patterns that are ideally suited for it.

Patterns they have little to no "backstitching", where the quilting machine backtracks over previously quilted lines of thread, do very well with Variegtated Thread.
