Have you ever wondered what quilt pattern testing is and how you can be a tester? In 2021, I was lucky to take part in 18 quilt pattern tests for designers around the world. I learned a range of new skills, met new quilters and expanded my quilting horizons. It was a fantastic experience and one that I recommend trying out.
In this video, I’m sharing my adventures of quilt pattern testing and tips and advice to get started and make the most of the experiences.
