We usually ship your order within 24 hours of order placement (Monday-Saturday). Provided the US Postal Service is running smoothly (excluding holidays), it usually takes 3 to 10 days to deliver your order to the continental US, depending on how far away you live from Vermont. Alaska and Hawaii will take up to 15 days. Our in-house automated postal system selects the fastest, most cost-effective shipping rate for your order.
Please note: USPS and other mail carriers are experiencing occasional delays due to increased nationwide online shopping and labor shortages. Please understand that we cannot accelerate the postal system. Like you, we are not affiliated with it. Once your order leaves us, we have no control over how fast it reaches you or what happens to it. We understand you're eager to receive your WOOLLY goodness, but we don't control weather systems or USPS, and we cannot expedite your package's journey. We will provide you with a tracking number and send it to the email address you provide when you place your order. We will also send you another email when your order arrives at your mailbox.

We are proud to offer exceptional products, including wool, kits, notions, and patterns you won't find anywhere else. Our small size ensures that we can maintain complete control over the quality of each item we produce, ensuring that you receive nothing but the best from JTD. We're sorry that we can't provide a kit for every pattern we have. While we cannot create a custom kit for you, we're confident that our extensive selection of wool in our WOOL department will have virtually everything you need to make your project a reality.

We do not sell in PDF format for three reasons:
First, we love the shops and shop owners we sell to. We want to honor our partnership with them, so we will not sell our patterns for less than what they offer in their stores.
Second, our patterns are on large sheets of paper that most standard home printers cannot print. We use large sheets of paper, so there is less gluing and piecing of sheets on your end, thus making the process as user-friendly as possible.
Third, sadly, folks have circulated our PDF patterns to friends via email. This unfortunate practice undercuts the quilt shops we love and our online store.

Our kits are exclusive to us, and we take great pride in their quality. If you purchase a kit of one of our designs at another beloved shop, it is their kit, and JTD has no affirmation of its caliber. Please contact the shop if you have an issue with their kit.
- 07
If you're not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, please contact us. If your issue is with a kit, ensure you purchased it from us. We do not sell our kits to other shops. We want to make sure you're happy with your order. You can return the item up to three weeks after delivery. Once we receive the product within that timeframe, we'll check it over. If everything checks out, we'll refund the returned item.

We do ship internationally! When you place your order, our system automatically calculates the shipping costs to your location. We use USPS for international shipping as we've found it to be the most cost-effective option, and it can help save you from tariff charges. We can't wait to get your order to you!

Our patterns are available in select shops worldwide. However, we realize that not everyone lives near these shops. We do our best to keep our shipping costs low and fair.
Order price and weight factor into your shipping costs; the more you order, the more advantageous the ratio becomes for your shipping charge. It is a tiered flat-rate system. By shipping this way, those who live farther from us (Vermont) do not pay higher shipping costs because of distance. Those who live near Vermont will receive your items faster. We always send you a TRACKING NUMBER and an email when your order arrives.
At this time, we do not offer free shipping when your order reaches a specific price point. We are a small company, and we absorb some shipping costs, tracking information, and insurance as a matter of course to keep prices reasonable for our customers.

We have evolved with time. When Jerome Thomas Designs began in 2017, we only sold patterns—nothing else. Around 2019, we started creating our first kits, which were immediately well received. At that point, we began including thread and floss lists in our kits that matched our wools. Consequently, designs created before 2019 do not have a thread and floss list. Since then, we have grown significantly, and now we have a notions department, a wool department, a Valdani thread department featuring our signature collections, and numerous design categories to choose from.
