Call for Quilt Pattern Testers
It’s that time! I have the pattern written and I’m striving to follow my instructions to assemble twin-size quilts.
It’s time to start gathering together some willing volunteers. Keep in mind, I’ve only ever done this once before and it was quite some time ago.
I can’t express how exciting this is!
Above you can see the Jamberry fabric line by Jon Van Zyle for P & B Textiles that I used when designing the All A-Whirl Pattern. These are being reprinted for those of us shopping in Alaska! I’ve also added a few of P & B Textiles’ Serenity and Suede Basics to the mix. They help add some texture and fun to the quilt!
The All A-Whirl is only one of the patterns I have in production. Right now, it’s the most important. If you aren’t interested in the All A-Whirl pattern, that’s okay, sign up anyway and I’ll keep you in the tester pool for future patterns.
Here’s what I need from a tester:
Confidentiality - Keep the pattern and details confidential (sneak peeks only!) until the pattern is published on my blog
Feedback - Mark any typos or areas where the wording is confusing. Email it back to me when you are complete with the test. Anything that deals with cutting instructions, assembly, pattern text, diagrams, and pattern layout. Please, let me know.
Deadline - Finish the pattern testing during the allotted time. We know life happens and if you cannot finish, please let us know. Testers who don’t complete the test and don’t reach out won’t be considered for future tests.
Photos - Send 1 or 2 clean, well-lit photos to me. Making only the quilt top is necessary for photos. Photos do not need to be of a finished quilt. You may use any fabric you like. It’s up to you!
Instagram - You must have a public Instagram page to apply
What you get from me:
A free pattern once it’s published
Free longarm quilting if you’re finished within the deadline and have followed all instructions
I’ll share your quilt top on my Instagram feed and recognize you by name and IG handle
After a pattern launch, I’ll write a blog post showing off all the testers and their quilts with links to your IG and/or website
Does this sound interesting? Please head over to our Pattern Tester page and fill out the form.
Thanks so much!
Carolyn
