Hey Harry, thank you so much for this, and for being so specific about what's working. "Before I cut even one piece" is the whole reason TideStitch exists, so it's good to know it's landing that way. The stash grouping is one of my favorites too: auditioning a design with just the fabrics you actually want to pull from changes everything (that was a brilliant suggestion from a user, by the way!). So if you ever run into something you'd want different, send it my way. Happy quilting!
So fun to explore
Response from developer
Thank you so much! "Fun" is exactly what I was going for (planning a quilt should feel like the exciting part, not homework), so thank you for that. And you're right about the constant improving: a lot of those updates come straight from quilter feedback, so if there's ever something you wish TideStitch could do, I'd love to hear it! You can reach me through the support link on the App Store page or in Resources right in the app. Happy quilting! 🧵
Great design app
Response from developer
Kerri!! Thank you so much for this (and for all the TikTok back and forth, which has been genuinely helpful). Custom blocks, right down to the shapes and sizes of every piece, were one of the features I most wanted to get right, so hearing they're working for you makes my day. A lot of what gets built next comes straight from conversations like ours, so keep the ideas coming! Happy quilting! 🧵
Exactly What I’ve Needed!
Response from developer
Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to write all this out! The entire reason TideStitch exists is the thing you described: being able to actually SEE the design before you commit fabric and cut into it (I built it because I got tired of guessing and then being disappointed after the fact), so hearing it's clicking for you means the world. And the fact that you keep thinking "there should be a button for this" and then finding out there is? That's the best possible feedback I could get, it means we're thinking about your projects the same way. Now for the good news on your one wish: TideStitch already runs on iPad AND Mac, not just iPhone (and it follows you across your Apple devices), so if you've got either one, you'll get a ton more room to pick colors and draft those intricate patterns on a real screen. The log-in-and-work-from-a-browser piece is a bigger build, but it's genuinely on my list too, because I know some of this is just easier when you're not squinting at a phone. Thank you again, truly, and for the kind words about the design (that one got me). Can't wait to show you what's coming. Happy quilting! 🧵
This is the BEST app!
Thankfully, I found this app, and I have my pattern, fabrics, and dimensions all figured out in an afternoon instead of weeks! I love that I could add different block patterns and borders/sashing and get all of the fabric lengths, batting/ border size and instructions.
I don’t have to contemplate the meaning of life when math isn’t mathing and reverse engineer quilt anymore! Once I figured out how to use the app, I could make any and all variations of the pattern and see it with my own fabrics, which makes it so much easier and fun to plan!
If you’re a quilter, you have to have this app!

I read this out loud to my husband and then read it again, because a review that opens by wishing me a permanently cold pillow is the kind of thing you frame. Thank you, sincerely. 🙏🏻 The GoodNotes-and-tedium era is exactly the kind of thing I built this to kill, so hearing that you went from "no clue what pattern or how" to fabrics, dimensions, and cut instructions in a single afternoon, for a Halloween table runner no less, is the whole reason the app exists. And the fact that you figured out you could swap in your own fabrics and just play with variations... that's my favorite part too, so now we're friends. May your seams always match and your math always math. Happy quilting, and enjoy that runner! 🎃
