Questions
How accurate is the yardage?
It is worked out piece by piece with the standard formulas: ¼″ seams, strips cut across the fabric, half-square triangles from squares cut ⅞″ bigger, flying geese four at a time. We add 2″ or 5% for straightening and shrinkage, then round up to the next ⅛ yard. Tap “Show the working” next to any fabric to check it.
What fabric width does it plan for?
42″ of usable width, which suits most 42–44″ quilting cotton once the selvages are trimmed. You can switch to 40″ (if you pre-wash) or 44″. Backing can be pieced from regular fabric or cut from 108″ wide backing.
Can I see the quilt in my own fabric?
Yes. Take a photo of fabric from your stash or at the shop, and the quilt redraws in it. Photos stay on your device and are never uploaded. Your first try is free.
What’s in the pattern PDF?
Five pages: the quilt and what to buy; a cutting list with strips and sub-cuts for every fabric; how to make the units and the block, with a lettered diagram; the quilt layout with sizes, borders, backing and binding; and a one-page list for the fabric shop.
Do I need an account?
No. Your quilts are saved in this browser. When you buy, you get a license key. Paste it on your iPad or another computer to use Patchwise there too.
Lifetime or Yearly?
Lifetime is $49 once and never renews. Yearly is $29 a year and renews until you cancel. Both include every feature. Prices include tax.
Does it work on an iPad?
Yes: iPad, phone, Mac or PC, in the browser. Once it has loaded, it keeps working without the internet.
Which blocks are there?
16 classic, traditional blocks, including log cabin, Ohio star, nine patch, half-square triangles, flying geese, churn dash and bear paw. Change the block size, layout, sashing, borders and binding, and the yardage follows.
Can I get my money back?
Yes. Email within 14 days and we refund you in full.
