Managing Pattern Collections Shouldn't Be So Manual

Most longarm quilters are juggling multiple systems that don't talk to each other. Sound familiar?

📂

Binders & Printouts

Physical binders filled with pattern printouts get lost, damaged, or left at home when you need them most.

🗂️

Scattered Digital Files

Folders of pattern files with no previews. You have to open each one in your software just to remember what it looks like.

🌐

Outdated Websites

A static website that took hours to build and is already out of date. Adding a new pattern means a whole round of manual screenshots and uploads.

🤔

Hard to Visualize

Clients struggle to picture how a pattern will look tiled across their quilt. Showing one repeat doesn't tell the whole story.

More Than Pattern Storage

The Pattern Library is a complete workflow — from import to client presentation.

⬆️

Upload Pattern Files

Drop your pattern files directly into the library. We generate a clean preview automatically — no screenshotting required.

🏷️

Tag & Organize

Create custom tags like "Dense Fill", "Feathers", or "Modern" and filter your library instantly during consultations.

🖼️

Display Professionally

Your patterns live in a polished, mobile-friendly gallery you can share with clients via a link or QR code.

🔲

Preview in 3×3 Grid

See exactly how a pattern tiles across a quilt with a configurable 3×3 grid preview. Adjust spacing and overlap to match real quilt layouts.

📷

Show Real Quilt Examples

Link finished quilt photos to patterns so clients can see not just the design, but the actual result on a real quilt.

🔲3×3 Preview

Show How a Pattern Looks Across a Quilt

A single pattern repeat doesn't tell the whole story. The 3×3 preview tiles your pattern exactly as it would run across a real quilt — so clients can actually visualize what they're choosing.

Adjust Horizontal Spacing
Control the gap between columns to match your machine's setup.
Adjust Vertical Spacing (with Overlap)
Use negative spacing to show overlapping rows — common in dense pantograph patterns.
👁
See the Real Layout
What you see in the preview matches what will come off your longarm.
