Use Stitchtale responsibly and keep the quilt-making human.

Who operates Stitchtale

Stitchtale is operated by Gideon Rosenthal. You can reach us at support@stitchtale.com.

Using the service

Stitchtale provides tools for planning and exploring quilt projects. You are responsible for reviewing a pattern before cutting fabric, following safe sewing practices, and deciding whether a result is suitable for your own skill level and intended use.

Membership and prices

Stitchtale is quilting design and planning software. The membership pageexplains what is included, what remains free, the monthly price, and whether paid membership is available. Fabric bought from another shop is a separate purchase under that shop's terms.

Paid membership is a monthly subscription that renews until canceled. Prices are in US dollars; checkout shows the amount payable, any applicable taxes, and the billing schedule before you confirm a purchase. There is no free trial attached to the monthly membership. Any free access we have given does not create a subscription or turn into a charge without a purchase you confirm.

If you are offered a founding member price, the price and eligibility are shown to you before purchase. You keep that price while you remain subscribed.

Orders through Paddle

For purchases processed through Paddle, our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for those orders. For a full refund of your first membership payment within 14 days, email support@stitchtale.com (see our Refund Policy); other billing questions and return requests go to Paddle; questions about using the software go to Stitchtale.

Paddle's Buyer Terms apply to the purchase, alongside these terms for using Stitchtale. For payment support, visit Paddle's buyer support. Stitchtale does not sell fabric or other physical goods through Paddle checkout.

Cancellation and refunds

For a Paddle subscription, use Manage or cancel in your Stitchtale settings, the subscription-management link in your Paddle receipt, or Paddle's buyer support. Cancel before the next renewal to prevent further recurring payments. Your cancellation confirmation states when the cancellation takes effect.

Canceling membership does not delete your saved quilts, photos, or saved place. Access to paid quilt-alongs, books, and cutting plans requires an active membership. Cancellation and a refund request are separate actions. Read our refund policy for how to request a refund and how mandatory consumer rights apply.

Your uploads and rights

Upload only photos, artwork, patterns, and other material that you own or have permission to use. Do not use Stitchtale to copy, distribute, or sell another person's protected work. You remain responsible for the rights and permissions connected to what you upload and how you use a resulting quilt or pattern.

The quilt pictures on our shelf

Every picture of a Stitchtale quilt (the cover, the photograph, the pattern front) is made by us from that quilt's own plan, and it shows the quilt you would be making from it. It is not a photograph of somebody else's quilt and it is not a picture of a different design. Where a quilt is offered in more than one set of fabrics, the picture you are looking at is the set you are looking at.

Fabric links

When we name the fabric a quilt is drawn in, we link to a shop that carries it. Some of those links are affiliate links, which means Stitchtale may earn a commission if you buy through one. It never changes the price you pay, and it never decides which fabric a quilt is designed in. Buy the cloth wherever you like.

Your fabric, your sewing, your quilt

We check every quilt on the shelf so that its pieces, sizes and steps add up, and we show you the plan before you cut. We can still make mistakes: a plan, a picture, a measurement or a step may be wrong, and we cannot promise that any quilt is free of errors. Use your own judgement as you go, and make a test block before you cut into good fabric. What you make is yours, and so is the making: your fabric, your cutting, your seams, your machine, and how the finished quilt turns out. Stitchtale is not responsible for fabric, thread, batting or other materials you buy or cut, for time spent, or for a quilt that does not come out the way you hoped — whether the cause was our mistake or the making — and we do not refund or replace materials. If you find a mistake in a plan, tell us and we will fix the plan.

Beta and availability

Features may change, be limited, or be unavailable while Stitchtale is in development. Beta access is optional and may have specific instructions, supported scope, and feedback expectations. Features described as coming soon are not included in a purchase unless the offer expressly says so.

Your consumer rights

Nothing in these terms, including the limits described for sewing outcomes and materials, excludes or limits rights or remedies that applicable consumer law does not allow us to exclude. This includes applicable rights concerning software that is faulty or not as described, and statutory cancellation or refund rights.

Feedback

If you share feedback, you allow us to use it to improve Stitchtale without an obligation to compensate you. We will ask separately before using your name, image, quilt, or testimonial in public marketing.
