Innovation at Your Fingertips
As a quilt shop owner, you know that quilters are always on the lookout for something special—projects that spark their creativity, challenge their skills, and stand out from the crowd. In a market where competition is fierce, offering unique products that resonate with your customers is key to setting your shop apart. That’s where Westfield Laser Design comes in. By offering custom laser-cut applique kits, you can provide your customers with something truly unique and delightful, ensuring they keep coming back for more.
Stand Out with Unique Designs
One of the best ways to differentiate your quilt shop from others is by offering exclusive products that customers can’t find anywhere else. With Westfield Laser Design’s custom laser-cut applique kits, you can create your own unique collections that reflect your shop’s personality and appeal to your customer base.
We work with each shop to create a unique kit that only you have available. The kits may be designs of your own, other designers’ patterns using different fabrics, symbols that are from your area, and more. We work with you to create the kit that works best for you.
Choose from a wide array of charming and classic designs like Forest Friends, State Pride, Sew Wild, and Stained Glass. These themes are not only visually appealing but also versatile, allowing you to tailor kits to the interests and preferences of your customers.
Imagine being known as the quilt shop with the exclusive “Forest Friends” collection, where every customer knows they can find those adorable woodland creatures ready to be transformed into a cozy quilt. Or perhaps you offer the “State Pride” series, allowing quilters to showcase their love for their home state with precision-cut applique. By offering these one-of-a-kind kits, you’re not just selling a product; you’re offering an experience that quilters will cherish and talk about.
The Joy of Pre-Cut Applique
Your customers will love the convenience and precision of pre-cut applique. Gone are the days when they had to trace patterns and meticulously cut out each piece by hand. With our laser-cut applique, the hard work is already done. Each piece is precisely cut, ensuring perfect shapes every time. All your customers need to do is give a quick snip to separate the pieces from their kit, and they’re ready to go. This time-saving convenience means more time for them to focus on the creative aspects of quilting, which is what they truly enjoy.
Hassle-Free Pre-Fused Applique
One of the most frustrating aspects of traditional applique is keeping the pieces in place while assembling the design. With Westfield Laser Design’s pre-fused applique, this problem is a thing of the past. Each piece is pre-fused with SoftFuse Premium, meaning there’s no need for pins or other temporary adhesives. Your customers can simply tap an iron to the applique, and it will adhere securely to the background fabric. This not only prevents pieces from shifting and ruining a design but also speeds up the process, making quilting more enjoyable and less stressful.
Easy for Everyone, Even Beginners
Applique can be intimidating for beginners, but our kits make it “Sew Easy!” Every kit comes with simple, graphic instructions that guide quilters through the process, ensuring success no matter their skill level. This user-friendly approach means that your shop can cater to both seasoned quilters and those just starting their quilting journey. By offering these easy-to-use kits, you make applique accessible to everyone, which can attract a wider range of customers to your shop.

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.
