Do you know this: You love a quilt pattern – but the instructions are in English and the technical terms leave questions open? This is exactly where my translation comes in: clear, sewing-friendly language so you can get to the sewing machine faster (and not get stuck in the dictionary 😉).

Translation Cabin Valley Quilt - Cotton+Joy

What you get

• Careful, sewing-practical translation of the original pattern into German (text-only).
• Clearly defined technical terms (patchwork/quilt terminology in DE), so measurements, cutting plans, and sewing sequences are immediately understandable.
• Reader-friendly layout and step structure – optimized for sewing, not for guessing.

Important about copyright:
I hold no rights to the original pattern. This translation is only intended as a supplement to the already purchased original. Therefore, it contains no images, diagrams, or templates from the original.

Purchase requirements

To preserve the integrity of the original design and the copyrights of the designer, the purchase of this translation is exclusively possible for customers who have already purchased the original pattern.
Please send me proof of your purchase (e.g. copy of the purchase receipt or order confirmation) by email to [hi@floydthefox]. Afterwards, you will receive the download access to the translation.
