digital quilting patterns . frequently asked questions  
What format are the patterns in?
All the patterns on this site are in .dxf format.

What do I get when I order a pattern?

You will receive two files for each pattern - one DXF and one PDF. The DXF is the pattern that goes in your machine. The PDF is a sample page that you can print and keep in a display folder to show your customers.

When will my patterns arrive?
We will email you the pattern as soon as your payment is processed.

Can I get my patterns on CD instead of having them emailed to me?
Yes. Order your patterns as normal and make sure to check the CD option in the checkout. CD's cost $20 and you may have as many patterns as you like on one CD as long as they're all ordered at the same time.

I've ordered patterns via email in the past, can I have them put on a CD now?
No. Patterns will only be delivered once.

How do I make the pattern work on my Statler Stitcher?
All our .dxf patterns already have the snap=0.001/first/last instructions in the file. All you need to do is convert the .dxf into a Precision Stitch file using the software and instructions that came with your Statler Stitcher.

How do I make the pattern work on my CompuQuilter?

All you need to do is convert the .dxf into a CompuQuilter file by using your DXF to CQ (or XYZ) software that came with your CompuQuilter.

How do I make the pattern work on my IntelliQuilter?
IntelliQuilter systems work with the .dxf as it is, so all our patterns are ready to go straight into your IntelliQuilter.

Can you digitise one of my own drawings for me?
Yes. We'd be happy to digitise something for you as long as the pattern is your original design. You can find more information on our Digitising Service page.

I've designed some patterns that I want to have published, can you help me?
We've been publishing quilting patterns for several years and would be happy to talk you through getting your patterns published. All our contact information is on the Contact page.

What is a .pdf file?
A .pdf (Portable Document Format) file is an easy way to share information regardless of application or computer system. To view a PDF file you need PDF viewing software and we recommend Adobe Reader. You can download Adobe Reader for free from http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/

Is your website secure?
Yes. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Web Server Certificates, such as the one used on this website, encrypt all data sent to and from the web site. This information is scrambled and therefore unintelligible if intercepted.

How do I check my browser security?
If you elect to submit your credit card details online, you will notice that the URL prefix (located in your address bar) will change from the standard http:// to the secure https://. This means that you are in secure mode. Also your browser's security icon (usually located at the bottom right hand corner of your browser window) will change to either a locked padlock or solid gold key (depending on your browser make and version). This is your assurance that your browser and our server are communicating securely.
