Many of our patterns were orginally designed for quilting, so you will find LOTS of linear patterns. These will let you use your embroidery machine for quilting as well as creating unique redwork blocks for quilting designs.
Here are some answers to questions that we often get asked:
Where do you get your ideas for patterns?
Wow! That's hard to answer... Sometimes I'm doodling and it comes to me, then sometimes looking at a quilt gives me inspiration for creating something that will "fit". However, I also get a lot of requests from customers and that helps keep our ideas fresh.
Do you use Clip Art?
Yes and no. It is very hard to create original art these days that is something that no one has ever used before. All of us get ideas from past experiences. That is one of the reasons most designers won't look at another designer's website! So if someone makes a request, I will often go through many of my royalty free sources. I may or may not actually use the clipart, but it gives me the idea on which way to go! NOTE: IF we have used a design service as the basis of a pattern, credit IS GIVEN to the design service even it we have not made the pattern identical to their offering.
Do you test EVERY pattern?
Yes, we do, but not necessarily every format. !
Is there a way to order without an account?
There are several ways:
- BY FAX - When you are finished shopping, Print your shopping cart. Download, print and fill out our Fax Order Form. Fax the shopping cart print out and the Fax Order Form to us at 512.519.1661. If you do not want to put all your credit card info on the order form you can also phone us with that information. Please see the Fax Order Form for more information.
- BY E-MAIL - When you are finishing shopping, you can cut and paste your shopping cart into either an e-mail or a document you attach. If you prefer, you can also make a list of the patterns you want. If you make a list, we need the Pattern Number, the name AND the price so that we don't make a mistake filling your order.. Make sure your e-mail contains your billing and shipping address (one is fine if they are the same) and your phone number. You can then call us with your credit card info. If you like, we can keep your card on file for future purposes. Otherwise we will run it when you phone us and not retain the details.
- BY POSTAL MAIL - Please include a printout of the shopping cart and fill out our Fax Order Form. If you are paying by check, we will wait for it to clear before patterns become available for download or are shipped. Delay can be 10 days if you are out of state. If you supply a Postal Money Order we will ship within 2 business days.
- BY PHONE - While we are not always available, we can call you back if you leave a message! Once more, we can retain your credit card info for future orders if you wish!
