Inspire Artistic Innovation
In the world of quilting, creativity is the cornerstone of every masterpiece. Offering your customers something truly unique can inspire them to push their artistic boundaries and create pieces they’ll cherish for years. Custom laser-cut kits from Westfield Laser Designs provide an opportunity for quilt shop owners to spark creativity while adding value to their inventory. Here’s how these exclusive kits encourage innovation and engagement among your customers.
One-of-a-Kind Designs Inspire Originality
Quilters often look for designs that allow them to express their individuality. Custom laser-cut kits are a perfect fit, as they offer unique patterns and motifs that customers won’t find anywhere else. By working with Westfield Laser Designs, quilt shop owners can create kits that reflect their shop’s personality, regional identity, or a specific theme.
These bespoke designs empower quilters to craft something truly special, whether they’re creating a statement piece for their home or a heartfelt gift for a loved one.
Simplified Preparation Frees Up Creative Energy
One of the biggest advantages of laser-cut kits is the precision and convenience they provide. The intricate cutting is done ahead of time, allowing customers to focus entirely on the creative aspects of their projects. They can experiment with fabric placement, color combinations, and stitching techniques without worrying about making errors during cutting.
This streamlined process not only makes quilting more enjoyable but also opens up new possibilities for quilters of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned artisans.
Fostering Community Through Collaborative Projects
Custom kits can also foster a sense of community among quilters. Quilt shop owners can design kits that are perfect for group workshops, quilting circles, or even shop-hosted challenges. Participants can use the same base kit but interpret it in their own unique way, leading to a vibrant array of finished projects that showcase each individual’s creativity.
These collaborative efforts not only strengthen customer relationships but also establish the quilt shop as a hub for inspiration and artistic exploration.
Encouraging Experimentation with Materials and Techniques
Custom kits from Westfield Laser Designs allow quilt shops to introduce customers to new materials, fabrics, and techniques. For example, incorporating specialty fabrics or themed motifs into a kit can encourage quilters to experiment outside of their usual style.
Additionally, these kits can be designed with optional embellishments or advanced techniques, giving customers the chance to learn and grow as quilters.
Boosting Customer Engagement
Offering exclusive, custom-designed kits positions a quilt shop as a destination for creative quilters. Customers are more likely to return when they know the shop offers unique products that challenge and inspire their creativity.
By continually introducing fresh designs and themes, quilt shop owners can maintain excitement and build a loyal customer base eager to see what’s next.

The word applique comes from the French appliquer, “to put on.” It is most commonly used in quilting as embellishment for quilts, but is becoming more popular in making home decor and apparel. Often cutting applique is considered an arduous, time consuming process due to the intricacy of detailed designs and the level of detail was often limited to the cutting skill of the quilter. However, laser cutting removes the time and skill required by providing perfectly cut pieces.
When we say pre-fused, we mean that your appliqué pieces have a special backing attached. This backing allows for you to tack/lightly adhere each piece to your background to ensure it stays in place while putting together the full project.After considerable testing we have found that SoftFuse Premium works best with laser cut applique. SoftFuse provides good adhesion of the applique piece to the background fabric while still providing a supple feel that is less stiff than other fusibles we’ve tested. SoftFuse is soft enough that you can either hand or machine sew the applique. SoftFuse will not gum up your sewing machine.
Fusible is not permanent and edges of the applique may begin to peel if not sewn down or otherwise adhered to a surface. The purpose of fusible is to tack the pieces in place while putting a project together.
Laser cut offers precise cutting of pieces in minimal time.
Most projects require a background (fabric, canvas, wall), scissors for snipping small connections that keep pieces together during transport, an iron (any iron will do) for tacking and a way to adhere the fabric to the background more permanently once project is complete.
You can certainly sew your project by hand or by a machine. The fusible does not affect the needles, making either option possible. You can also avoid sewing by using other craft forms for final adhesion such as decoupage or clear paint on wood or canvas backgrounds.
Quilt by Numbers (QBN) is a collection of kits that provide a freezer paper template that is reverse cut allowing you to perfectly position each piece as it is shown on the cover of the kit. Simply iron on the template to your background, place each piece in the corresponding cut out, tack the applique in place and peel the template off. It’s sew easy!
Because applique is pre-cut, we do not include a pattern. However, we do include a placement guide or template and instructions how to use the kit. You have all the instructions you need to complete the project without having to buy a separate pattern.
Some of our kits do include background fabrics and others do not. Please check the product page for each kit for specific details about the contents of the kit.
Kits include applique pieces with fusible, background and binding fabrics when relevant, a step by step instruction guide, and placement guide. We also offer a template and color guide with our Quilt By Numbers Collections.
Thread, backing or batting, which can be required for sewing into a quilt or wall hanging.
The fusible is not permanent, so you can peel the piece off carefully and adjust. Tack it back down with heat.
