An exciting new way to see, share, and sell your Spoonflower designs

Remember a few months ago when we introduced you to our new sister company, Roostery? They are a small team that’s working to help bring your unique home dec projects and ideas to life, no sewing skills required. You can take your Spoonflower designs or designs you love in our Marketplace, and order them to be sew up (in the USA) on various products like cocktail napkins, placemats, tea towels, and pillows. We’re excited to have Kate from the Roostery team stop by the blog today to share all the exciting updates the Roostery team has been working hard on over the past few months!

Roostery offers printing on 2 types of finished pillow

Catalan pillow with insert featuring “Goldfish” by jillbyers, and Serama pillow with flange detail featuring “Scattered Shells” by karinka and “Lily Trellis in Preppy Green and Navy” by willowlanetextiles

Earn Up to 15% With Spoonflower’s New Commission Structure + More

Huge news for designers: we’re taking our 10% designer commission and adding a bonus! If your monthly commissions exceed certain thresholds, you will retroactively qualify for an additional bonus commission on top of what you’ve already earned. And on top of that, you will be paid out every 14 days (instead of once a month) with no waiting period. We’ve even added a new payout threshold of $10 (versus the previous $20) so you can transfer that cash to your bank account even faster than ever. Check out our infographic below which breaks down the new commission tiers.

Get Started

2-for-1 Fat Quarters Starts Today!

2-for-1 Fat Quarters

Today starts our favorite promotion of the year–2-for-1 fat quarters! It’s the perfect time to stock up on tea towels, an easy to sew, wonderful handmade gift that fits on a fat quarter of fabric (we recommend Linen Cotton). To help you out with your holiday shopping, Spoonflower is holding a two-for-one fat quarter special starting today and running for the next week. Here are the details:

  • What: Buy two fat quarters of any fabric on Spoonflower for the price of one. [Most tea towel designs fit on a fat quarter.] A fat-quarter of Linen-Cotton Canvas (which works well for tea-towels) is normally $14, so it will cost $7 during the period of the promotion.
  • When: Thursday, November 5 (10am EST) through Thursday, November 12th (at 10 pm EST).
  • How: Add two fat quarters (or any other number) and you will get half-off the regular price. The discount will be calculated automatically and the promotional price will appear in your shopping cart.

  SHOP TEA TOWELS  

FAQ:
1) Are these tea towels finished products?
No, they are not. Spoonflower just sells fabric, so the tea-towel calendars and other kits (stockings kits, etc.) arrive to you as fabric, and in order to use them as gifts you’ll need to hem, cut & sew as needed. Unless you’re giving them as kits to someone else who sews, which is also a fun idea.

2) If I’m a designer, will my commission on sales be half of what it normally is?
Nope. You’ll still earn up to 15% in Spoondollars of the un-discounted price.

3) Do I have to buy two fat quarters of the same design to get the promotional price?
No, the promotion will apply to all fat quarters, so you can use it for as many different designs as you like.

4) If I buy one fat quarter, will I automatically receive a second, identical fat quarter?
No, if you want two pieces of fabric, you will have to add two to your shopping cart (or adjust the quantity in the cart to be two rather than one).

5) Do I receive a discount if I buy two fat quarters on two different fabrics?
Yes, each fat quarter you purchase will be half of its regular price.

6) Does this promotion apply to all fabric, or just tea towel kits?
The buy-one-fat-quarter, get-one-free promotion applies to all fabric for the duration of the special. But it applies ONLY to the fat-quarter size, not to yards or swatches.

7) Can’t I just add a yard of fabric to my cart and get four tea towels?
The special offer applies only to fat quarters. In some cases, it might be possible to get four tea-towels by buying a yard of fabric… but most designers have set up their tea towels to be centered. If the design is centered then you have to order it as a single piece. For tea towels this is usually a quarter yard, but for an apron kit, for example, it might be a single yard. This special is a discount for fat quarters only.

Goodbye to Cotton Silk

Fans of our Cotton Silk will be sad to hear that we've pulled it from the Spoonflower fabric line-up. The price of that particular fabric is going up, so we've reluctantly decided not to re-stock it. We're sorry to see it go!

If you haven't tried it already, please be sure to check out our lovely Satin as an alternate. We also have new fabrics planned for 2015, so there's more to look forward to!
