Pattern Tester Application

Please fill out the application below if you'd like to be considered to join my pattern tester list and help me test new patterns, proofread new patterns for clarity/grammar OR create samples of patterns.

Current Testing Opportunities:

Luminary Glow Up Pattern: Read-Through & Feedback

Status: Already Tested & Tech Edited
Needs: Proofreaders & Feedback on Clarity
Due Date: Friday, May 1 at Noon Central Time (SOON)

Details:
Right now I'm looking for a handful of quilters of various experience levels (from new to advanced) to read through the pattern closely and let me know if anything is unclear in the written instructions to make sure I've made this as clear as possible to quilters of all levels. You are not expected to worry about math as it's already been tech edited. NO QUILTING IS NECESSARY.

Requirements: Reply to an email answering specific questions that will be sent to you along with an advance copy of the pattern.

Luminary Glow Up Pattern: Sample Maker

Status: Already Tested & Tech Edited
Needs: Sample Makers
Due Date: June 1, 2026 (but I can have some flexibility if agreed to in advance).

Details:
I'm looking for quilters to make this quilt in different colors/fabrics and provide photos (and ideally some video of the quilt itself and/or the quilting process) that I can use in marketing the pattern. You keep the finished quilt.

This quilt takes 5 yards of background fabric plus 48 Fat Eighths to complete the top, which finishes at 71"x90".

Requirements: Make the quilt top, send photos/videos as instructed by due date, with permission to use in my marketing. You will be credited as the maker.

Estimated Date: Mid to Late Summer 2026

Details:

If you'd like to help with this one, please fill out the form below, as I'll notify you via email when opportunities open up for this quilt and you can reply at that time if it works.

Proof Reading Patterns (this is NOT tech editing, this is just for clarity). No Quilting Required.

Pattern Testing. This requires making a quilt top exactly as stated in an advance copy of the pattern (in your own selected fabrics) and giving detailed feedback on the pattern for improvement by the deadline given, along with images (and optionally video) that will be used for marketing purposes.

Sample Maker. This requires making the quilt top in different fabrics from the cover photo and requires sending in pictures and ideally video that will be used for marketing purposes after the pattern has been published.
