Enough to genuinely use and love the app.
More room and more exports — without the pro extras.
For teachers, pattern publishers, and quilting professionals.
Free forever to start · cancel any paid plan any time · export your work in standard formats — no lock-in.

They stay yours. Your account doesn't get deleted, your designs remain visible, and you can export everything as standard PDF, PNG, or SVG. Many people pause and come back months later.
Because QuiltCraft is a labor of love, not a venture-backed company. Ten dollars a year is enough to keep the lights on, and we'd rather make a thing quilters actually want to use than try to wring every cent from anyone who tries it. If you love it, the small membership keeps it alive.
You can generate up to five full pattern PDFs each calendar month. The counter resets on the first of each month — unused exports don't carry over. Five is enough for a quilter making a finished project or two a month; if you regularly print more than that, Atelier removes the cap entirely.
Maker is the "more room to work" tier — unlimited blocks and projects, a clean PDF export, and a gigabyte of storage. It deliberately stops short of pro features. Atelier is for people who quilt for a living — pattern designers selling on Etsy or Payhip, longarm quilters running a small studio, teachers running a classroom. It adds unlimited PDFs, SVG export, full embroidery support with format conversion, your own brand on PDFs, commercial licensing, and seats for your team.
Honest answer: enough to fall in love with the tool. You get the full polygon designer, all the snap and rulers and undo. The caps you'll hit first are 12 saved blocks and 3 lifetime PDF exports — both deliberately set so a casual quilter can finish one full project before deciding whether the $10 membership is worth it.
Yes — on signup you can opt into a 14-day Maker trial with no credit card required. After it ends, you stay on the free plan with everything you've already created.
One person who quilts and one person who builds software — a husband-and-wife team. Every email is answered by a human; every change to the tool is made with both makers and engineers in mind.
We made QuiltCraft because we couldn't find software that respected quilters — both the craft and the time it takes. It's free forever for the casual maker, $10 a year for the dedicated quilter, and a proper tier for those who quilt for a living.
