Is pattern testing for you? What are your motives, intentions and goals? Can I make an income from testing? What skills do I have now or need to be a tester? Belle provides you with a 3 page activity to answer questions to help you assess if pattern testing is the right journey for you.
Belle provides you with an editable template so that you have a clear and easy way to turn in your tester notes to the designers that you may work with.
Belle provides you with a tester checklist to keep you on track while testing quilt patterns.
“Belle's course on being a Quilt Pattern Tester is full of valuable information - for quilters who are just dipping their toes in and those that have already tested a few quilts! Her knowledge of the quilting industry, both as a pattern tester herself and pattern designer, is presented with a unique perspective. I'm so glad I was able to participate in the course and I can't wait to see what more I'll learn in the QPT Hub on Facebook! ~ Becca”

“Pattern testing is a great way to explore techniques you might not otherwise try. And who doesn't like a peak at a new pattern before it gets released to the quilting world. Belle does a great job of explaining every aspect of testing and gives you a lot of helpful information on how best to go about it. She provides worksheets and tip sheets that will help you stay organized, and ensures you give the designer helpful feedback. If you're at all interested in learning how to write patterns, this is a great way to learn how to do that from other designers. I would highly recommend this course. You'll learn a lot regardless of your skill level. ~ Maria”

“Belle really walks through all the angles of being a quilt pattern tester, what it entails, and whether it's right for you or not. All the topics are there, from compensation to photography, she talks about it all and giving you plenty of resources to make informed decisions that are right for you. ~ Maude ”

“THIS IS FANTASTIC! What an overlooked niche in our industry! First, every pattern tester - new, seasoned, or somewhere in the middle, can benefit from this, as there is ALWAYS something to learn. (Now, that may be a little bit of the college professor in me talking, but I REALLY believe there is always something to learn!) Second, clearly, it's value-packed, both in what's included and pricing! Lastly, and most importantly, it's been developed and is taught by Belle - and that means it's packed with love and thoughtful intention, based on her experience in this industry and in the corporate world. Bottom line, it's been 'Belled" - and that is awesome!”
