What is a Pattern Designer?
A Christian pattern designer is an artist who creates repeating designs and motifs that are inspired by their Christian faith, beliefs, and themes from Christianity. These patterns often incorporate religious symbols, imagery from the Bible, quotes or verses from scripture, as well as more abstract representations of Christian concepts such as hope, love, and redemption.
The role of a Christian pattern designer is to use their creative talents and artistic skills to visually express and celebrate their religious devotion through beautiful, intricate, and meaningful pattern work. Their designs are intended to reflect Christian values, spread positive messaging, and provide Christian consumers with products that align with their spiritual beliefs.

- Retail has designs that are sold at the non-discounted rate. Unfortunately, we can't keep every design on retail forever, so they do cycle off. Don't worry, those designs will become available again at some point for pre-order at the discounted rate. But if you see something, don't wait because who knows when it will be available again.

I'm not familiar with your fabric bases, what exactly are they?
-For information on our fabric bases, please read our blog post: Introduction to WayMaker's Fabrics
Your stock images look different from the photos made from the fabric. Why is that?
Each fabric base absorbs ink differently, so you will see color vibrancy variation from base to base. Additionally, the lighting can affect the color of a design. Please see the vibrancy sheet below. Note, the rates and bases listed are valid as of February 2024, but are subject to change. For current pricing and list of fabrics please always refer to the pricing/bases listed under each product in the catalogue.
Where do you source the material for fabric bases?
- All of our natural fiber fabrics are American Made or sourced through an American company. We purchase rolls directly from the mill, maintain a stock of base material at our facility, and print roll by roll as the orders accumulate. Don't worry, your fabric will print quickly even if we don't have a full roll to print on your base (all orders will print immediately after the round closes, if not before that!)
Do you offer polyester/synthetic materials?
- Yes! Please see our fabric descriptions to discover what fabric bases we offer. You can also read our blog post that describes each base. Introduction to WayMaker's Fabrics
As of January 2025, we offer Athletic Knit, Jersey for synthetic materials as well as Stretch Twill (cotton poly blend).
Do you offer custom or commercial printing?
- We can print custom fabric designs for orders of 2 yards or more, contact info@waymakerfabrics.com for details and price sheet. For 2 yards, please refer to our standard retail pricing for your custom print job. If you are getting over 6 yards, please email for pricing.
What about banners or soft signage?
- We currently offer one type of soft indoor signage. Contact us at info@waymakerfabrics.com for more information.
Is the printing process Eco-Friendly?
- Good question - yes it is! Our process has no waste-water and uses water-based Eco-friendly dye inks. The total energy requirement is very low, using literally the ink and a short heat cycle - that's it!
Do you offer organic fabrics?
-We do not offer organic fabrics at this time.
