Returns
No, unfortunately, since a pattern has been purchased, we do not accept returns. However, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Quilts for Sale?
Sorry! We do not make quilts on commission. PJD focuses on designing and pattern publishing.
We are not selling any of our sample quilts at this time.
Fabric
The fabrics in the pattern quilts (and pictured on the patterns) have been available in many U.S. quilt shops since 2016. Fabrics are from many different manufacturers' lines.
To try to match fabrics for your own quilt project, view the quilts and blocks on Showcase, where there are many close-up photos. Go to SHOWCASE.
Recommendations
For raw edge applications, we highly recommend a non-sticky, paper-backed fusible web such as WonderUnder or SoftFuse. PJD patterns include reversed pattern pieces for each design, making tracing the pieces simple and accurate. With either of these products, no light box is required.
Once everything is fused to the background, and you are preparing to machine stitch around the raw edges of each motif, it is important to use a stabilizer on the back of the block. A light- to medium-weight stabilizer will prevent tunneling and bunching up of the fabric during the stitching process.
There are many brands of good-quality stabilizers. Some are sticky and easy to adhere to. Some require pinning or basting. Some even come off after stitching with a soak in warm water. Sulky carries a variety of them.
Our favorite stabilizer is Sulky Tear-Easy. With simple pinning before stitching and tearing away the excess after, it's clean and easy to use.
