It takes a tremendous time to get your quilt pattern into the LQS. When I would go to Quilt Market, there would be a few new designers trying to sell their patterns individually. I would always stop and chat with them because hardly anyone stopped at their booth. I would certainly have a website or Esty set up with your company name before you submitted any patterns so that you could have that information for quilters to be able to find you on the web. Also maybe try selling your pattern on Craftsy would be idea for you. Doesn't hurt to check into that too. I agree with ckcowl to make sure your pattern is 100% accurate and the instruction are clear. Good Luck!
