If you have a question or need help please check out some of our FAQs below for an immediate answer.
How long will it take to receive my order?
We aim to complete orders as soon as possible, however, as a general rule we post orders on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Orders are sent via Australia Post and take 5 – 10 business days from when shipped.
How is postage calculated?
We aim to keep postage as affordable as possible. Therefore, we only charge the standard rates allocated by Australia post and we do not include a handling fee.
Due to COVID-19 we now send all our orders with a $10 flat rate fee. This means every order will be tracked.
I have an issue with my order, what can I do?
Send us an email and we'll sort it out for you ASAP.
Can I photocopy your patterns or send PDF patterns to other people?
No, this is a breach of copyright and theft of our intellectual property.
Can I make your patterns to sell at markets?
We do not give permission for any of our Applique Art patterns to be made and sold under any circumstances. However, you can make our quilt, handbag and kid’s clothing patterns on a small hobby business scale of no more than 10 items at a time. The item must have a swing ticket that mentions that it is a Pattern Poole Design with our website: www.patternpoole.com also please tag Pattern Poole in your social media postings, we would love to see your work. Our designs cannot be mass manufactured on a professional level. Please email us for more information.

Why can't I order patterns in my region?
We are very sorry about that! Due to COVID we are no longer shipping internationally. The shipping from Australia is extremely expensive for single patterns and we have had a high volume of orders go missing this year. We are working hard to PDF as many of our patterns, however, we do have a large range of international stockists who can ship to you from your region. Check out our stockist here or email us for more information, studio@patternpoole.com
I am getting an error message that your PDF patterns are encrypted or password protected.
