There were literally hundreds of new patterns released at Market!  In many cases, these designers submit their patterns as soon as they complete the covers so the buyers can provide you with the new products as soon as they are available.   Therefore, to view ALL of the newest patterns, visit the Checker Website and search the pattern tab by date.  You can view all of the latest patterns that have been added to our site in the last month. Now is the time to get your jammies on and get comfortable…….the latest designs are just a click away – and, remember – at Checker, there are no minimums on most patterns!

Crabapple Hill

Meg Hawkey is one of my favorite designers so you would think I actually embroider – but I don’t!  I continue to buy her patterns because I dream of creating her designs someday.  And for some reason, that is enough when I look at these heirloom quality designs.

And this is just a sampling of the A’s and B’s……..Why not order a bunch – and host a party?  Share the latest books and patterns with your customers and give them a discount for pre-ordering them?  And, while you are at it – ask them which patterns they would like to see introduced as classes?  You just might have the basis of a class so get out that calendar!
