Our Story
“It started with videos. My son Matthew and I began filming our quilting together, mostly as a way to spend time together. Quilters started watching, and we realized we could do something special.”
“I've been quilting for over ten years, and I could always see the quilt in my head. Getting it out of my head was the hard part. I wanted to design quilts on my own, with my own fabric, without wrestling complicated programs on the computer. So Matthew built it with me.”
“Lo and behold, Quilt Preview became real. Now it's a place for quilters to plan, make and share their quilts together, right on their phones.”
— Sarah Tripp, quilter, and Matthew Tripp, her son and software designer
“I wanted Quilt Preview for fabric compatibility: seeing whether a grouping of fabric really works together while I'm choosing a pattern. You know the feeling when everyone around you says ‘this one looks good,’ then ‘no, wait, this one,’ and you still can't see it. I hoped it would give us a tool to feel confident in our own choosing, not swayed by others.”
“I'm mainly a kit buyer, and it has made me feel more capable of putting my own selections together. Fast decisions at the store, or looking through your stash to gather fabric for a pattern. Basically, so you never make a quilt and end up unhappy with the way it turned out.”
“It's all a work in progress, shaped by how you use it. Thank you so much for using it and showing us your quilts. I love it! Keep the ideas rolling.”
— Sarah

You add a photo of your pattern cover and a photo of each fabric. Quilt Preview reads the colors, prints and scale of your fabric and draws your pattern pieced from them, quilted with the stitch you choose. The pictures are made with AI image software, so think of each one as an artist's impression for planning — always cut from your actual pattern.
The Free plan gives you 5 quilt previews every month, and every preview you make is saved, with no limit. With Quilt Preview Club you choose the amount that's right for you, anywhere from $7 to $14 a month, or $75 for a whole year, for 20 previews a month, every quilt, pattern and quilt shop, videos in the Community, and cheaper top-ups. Try the Club free for 7 days. Run out? You can always top up with more previews whenever you like, on either plan, and Club members pay 25% less.
Yes, any time, in My profile. Cancel during the free week and you're never charged. After that, your Club perks last until the end of the month you've paid for, then you're back on the Free plan with everything you've saved.
Each new quilt picture uses one preview, and so does changing the quilting (long-arm) stitch on a quilt you've made. Looking at or downloading quilts you've already made is always free, and if a preview doesn't come through, it doesn't count.
Not always. Previews are made with AI as a creative starting point to get your ideas flowing, so now and then a shape may come out a little different or an edge may be cropped. If one comes out off, tap Try another arrangement. Always follow your printed pattern when you cut.
Yes. Take a photo of the bolts, fat quarters or precuts you're considering at the quilt shop (ask the shop's permission before taking photos, and show them what you're doing), and see them in your pattern before you buy. It's an easy way to check value, contrast and print scale before the fabric is cut from the bolt.
Your own collection of the quilts you've made, ready to show friends, and a place to share them with other quilters if you'd like: previews, works in progress and finished quilts. Every share is looked over before it shows.
