Has anyone here sold or are selling quilt patterns they have designed? How do you go about it? Do you sell just the pattern or do you sell it as a kit? Do you get it copywrited? and how is that done? Has it been worth all the trouble financially?
Thanks for any info you have.

Good question. I'll be interested in the responses, too.

That is something I have been working on. Right now, I have the patterns drawn, and working on the samples, the next step is submission, phew! I will let ya know how it works out.

two names that pop in my head are danmar and lockeb. I would ask them in a pm and maybe they can give you the gritty details you want.

Get a copy of this book. http://quiltwoman.com/publish-your-patterns.aspx
Read all you can on websites such as this one. http://www.ehow.com/how_5708700_self...-patterns.html
Join pattern design groups such as this one. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/quiltdesigners/
and this one http://groups.yahoo.com/group/QuiltPatternTesters/
That should all give you some good ideas! Good luck. :-D

Thanks for any info you have.
You can go to "YouCanMakeThis.com" They have a quilting section and you can sell your patterns, if they are your design.
Hope this helps you.
