Printing
Patterns printed in Chaska, Minnesota, poly-bagged and ready for the shelf. We print as you sell, with no minimums, no upfront print run and no storage fees.
For pattern designers
Get your patterns onto quilt shop shelves
We print, stock and ship your patterns, and sell them to the quilt shops we already work with. You keep your name, your artwork and your prices.
What we take off your plate
Use one service, or all three
Fulfillment
Wholesale, distributor and retail orders picked, packed and shipped from our warehouse, including orders from your own Shopify store. Invoiced monthly.
Selling
A designer page on the GE Designs wholesale site, in front of the shops that already order from us. You earn a royalty on every pattern we sell.
Also available: pattern tech editing, cover redesign, file prep, distributor readiness and Shopify store setup.
