The Quilt Pattern Shoppe Makes Quilting Easy and Convenient

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan. 7, 2013 - The Quilt Pattern Shoppe is an online store that offers a wide variety of quilting patterns. Many of the patterns can be downloaded directly from the online store, saving consumers time and money on delivery costs. You also have the option to buy quilt patterns online, and have them delivered to you by mail. The designs were created by a diverse group of talented quilt designers.

Finding the right pattern is very simple on the Shoppe. You can use the search feature to find patterns with specific details, colors or characters. You can also browse patterns by category. The categories include designers, types and techniques. You'll find categories to quilt aprons, handbags, totes, pincushions and pillow cases. Here are some of the website features that online shoppers say make quilting easy.

Shopper Rewards Program

The Quilt Pattern Shoppe offers rewards to all of their loyal customers online. As a matter of fact, they're the only quilt pattern online store that has a customer loyalty rewards program. All you have to do to qualify is create an online account, which is free. Every time you buy a pattern through the Shoppe's online store, you accrue reward points. These points can be converted to gift certificates, or used to buy other patterns, books, fabric and thread.

Designer Commissions

The Shoppe encourages quilt designers to partner with them to earn commissions that they call “better-than-wholesale.” Designers simply sell their patterns through the Shoppe's online store to earn commissions. And, because the patterns are downloadable, designers don't have to worry about tracking or stocking physical inventory. However, if you prefer to sell hard copies of your patterns, you can do so. They'll even stock and ship the patterns for you.

How does it work? All designers have to do is create a PDF version of each pattern they wish to sell on the site. Then, simply submit the PDF files to the Shoppe. There is a $2 fee per submission. They can also convert your patterns for you for a separate fee. There's no limit to the amount of patterns any one designer can submit for sale. Commission payments are made on a monthly basis.

Downloadable Quilt Patterns

Downloadable Quilt Patterns make quilting fast and convenient for those willing to accept electronically delivered patterns. Once the purchase is complete, the Shoppe will provide you with a link so that you can immediately download your pattern to your computer. That means no waiting for shipping, or paying shipping costs. You simply print out the pattern on your home printer using standard, letter-sized paper. Most online shoppers on the Shoppe enjoy this feature. This allows them to start their new quilting project as soon as they buy patterns online.

Free Quilt Patterns

The Quilt Pattern Shoppe offers a small selection of free quilt patterns. These patterns are offered by various artists and quilt designers in order to promote their skills and other patterns. This also allows new online shoppers to test out the downloadable quilt pattern feature. Many download the free patterns to ensure that they like the quality and method of delivery. Most do, which gets them excited about buying more downloadable patterns online.

Easy Quilt Patterns

The Shoppe is dedicated to providing patterns for quilters of all skill levels. That's why they've created the Beginner section to help newbies learn the art of quilting. There are dozens of pages of simple quilt patterns created by various quilt pattern designers. These patterns allow beginners to use patterns that teach as you create.

There's such a wide variety of beginner quilt patterns that there's something to pique the interests of everyone. Even though they're easier to create, they're still just as beautiful as the other patterns showcased on the website. They come with easy to understand and simple to follow directions. They are also downloadable, which allows beginners to start their fun, relaxing quilting project immediately.

The Words of Emily

Emily came up with the innovative idea of downloadable quilt patterns because of her own experiences online. According to her, these are some of the factors that led her to believe that people would find being able to instantly download patterns convenient:

NetFlix allows users to instantly stream movies and TV shows online.
USPS allows consumers to buy stamps online, and print postage instantly.
Big banks and online banks provide customers with downloadable e-statements.
iTunes sells music online, that can be instantly downloaded to computers and other devices.

When Emily really took the time to think about all of this, she wondered why there were no websites selling quilt patterns that could be downloaded instantly. Her innovative idea has proven to be a success, as most of the online customers at The Quilt Pattern Shoppe (http://www.thequiltpatternshoppe.com/) prefer this feature over waiting for the patterns to be delivered in the mail.
