Who needs a technical pattern editor?

Anyone who writes patterns should have a professional technical editor review their patterns.

• Pattern designers (and aspiring designers) can benefit from having their patterns reviewed before publishing them.
• Fabric companies offering patterns for local quilt shops to kit and sell can build good will by making sure they are offering accurate patterns.
• Local quilt shops who design patterns in-house, and those who kit patterns with fabric from their shop, can profit by making sure their customers have top notch information.
• Book and magazine publishers can always use an extra set of eyes to make sure their instructions are top notch.

What can I do for you?

No job is too small, or too large! You can hire me for that one pesky pattern-writing task you struggle with, or I can ghost write your pattern from beginning to end, or we can agree on something in the middle.

Let’s chat and find out what I can do for you!

Why work with me?

I am an experienced quilter with over 10 years of experiencing writing and editing patterns for some of the industry’s leading magazines. You may have seen my work in Quilters Newsletter, The Quilt Life and Quilter’s World magazines. I have also worked with the original Craftsy/Bluprint platform and fabric companies.

My background includes bag and garment sewing, costume design and construction as well as quilt design and construction.

Pricing

I charge an hourly rate for editing, billed in 15-minute increments. No job is too small, and I would love to discuss working with you!
