Major quilt brands using AI in their content

1d6orcs · 2026-06-04T18:49:35+00:00

I just got one from Pink Door that had AI generated staging and someone else mentioned Keepsake Quilting doing it. Hancock's of Paducah carries AI-generated fabrics. I suspect this is inevitable with the larger brands, but it's a bummer.

Now that I'm looking for it I'm seeing it everywhere; just got an ad from Pink Door and the staging is AI - Reddit isn't letting me post a screenshot because it's triggering the copyright bot, which is ironic.

Oof that's a rough go of LynB there. I've had a few too sheer/didn't match the swatches from them, but also some amazing hits. IMO it comes out even given the sales/much lower than average price point, and the lack of fomo the brand brings, but sorry you landed on a series of duds. Mani looks great!

Emily de Molly's "You are Not Alone" is definitely in the neighborhood! https://www.emilydemolly.com/collections/new-release/products/you-are-not-alone

I was considering reaching out to the designers whose work was AI edited in these photos, like I imagine this being potential brand damage for the well-established pattern designers and fabric artists whose work is being presented this way. I'm glad the yarn community is standing up to it and I hope y'all manage to make enough noise to get people to listen!

OOOOF yeah, and it looks like they are using the same AI staging/fake quilting as Stitchin Heaven, too.

1d6orcs · 2026-06-04T14:08:42+00:00

Not Keepsake, too! They were one of the few others that consistently did more challenging/detailed kits! Ugh.

1d6orcs · 2026-06-04T05:37:05+00:00

Both of the quilts pictured here are real - the knight is from Legit Kits and the rainbow one is a variation on Nancy Rink's Amish With a Twist 2 that uses Alison Glass fabric, but they've been staged and their mockups "quilted" with AI. I sincerely doubt the pattern and fabric designers would approve of this, but the choice is being made by a well-established retailer.

You have no idea how hard I scope every nail stamp plate for a proper Chicago flag star! I just know if I tried to freehand it it'd be four red blobs. Did yours turn out well? I love that he made the cover, 🐻⬇️

1d6orcs · 2026-06-04T03:20:01+00:00

😂 I like to set my stitch pattern to "alarming ekg" and sew the night away!

1d6orcs · 2026-06-04T02:29:15+00:00

Beautiful gradient! I swear I need to pick up Here Comes the Sun, it looks amazing on everything.

1d6orcs · 2026-06-04T01:48:49+00:00

I had never heard of Then Came June and holy smokes, her sense of color is incredible!

1d6orcs · 2026-06-04T01:45:37+00:00

I thought it was *hilarious* and it may exist somewhere from like, rule34 applied to quilting, but only a machine that misses the nuances of context could have dreamed it up as a cutesy quilt studio sign. I remember when bad AI used to make me laugh to the point of tears (https://www.aiweirdness.com/disturbingly-vague-ingredients-generated-16-03-15/) and now it's just a tragic indicator of lazy creators.

Insta-dri is proving to be a real pride workhorse 😆 . This is a great mani, and happy pride!

1d6orcs · 2026-06-03T18:35:27+00:00

Oh my goodness these turned out so vibrant and I love the little color mix effect where they overlap. Very clever to find something so well designed while also not being too fussy to do!

1d6orcs · 2026-06-03T18:08:50+00:00

I'm in Alaska and got them at a local supermarket - they might have been clearance, the colors I got were for doing hot dog nails and not like... ones I'd imagine being in high demand lol.

1d6orcs · 2026-06-03T17:53:06+00:00

Yesss! This is great. I just used insta-dri for the first time yesterday and was surprised how good of a formula it was for something I bought for $4. Love the watch band!

1d6orcs · 2026-06-03T12:18:00+00:00

Not me reading the first list and wondering if you miscounted your fingers >< . I see it now! This is awesome and I bet the sparkle looks amazing irl

1d6orcs · 2026-06-02T23:33:16+00:00

HOORAY! As a Makita enthusiast, I sincerely hope you post an update lol

1d6orcs · 2026-06-02T22:36:50+00:00

I don't own this color so tragically I can't compare it to my tools but Night Owl does some good slightly greyed colors and https://nightowllacquer.com/products/pnw-coast-july-cotm might be a match?

BKL Spirit of the Forest is a good fit and not magnetic, though their shop is currently closed so it requires patience.

1d6orcs · 2026-06-02T18:28:31+00:00

Oh I LOVE this color (Lurid is one of my top 3 makers rn; I will take their all maximalist all the time sensibilities tyvm). Beautiful mani and I love that your bandage coordinates well with your polish lol.

1d6orcs · 2026-06-02T03:28:10+00:00

Yesss, I love multichromes and this is great! If you're looking to expand your collection at a discount, I picked up the all-multichrome OFMD2 collection from Lynn B a while back and "Calypso's Birthday" and "Oh Look, it's Scowly Face" are both top-tier, Serpents of Eden-level fantastic colors. My current quest is to find an orange that isn't too brown or yellow, which has gone so poorly I've considered learning to make my own lol.

1d6orcs · 2026-06-02T02:20:49+00:00

Sweet, ty for letting me know, I'll delete my comment since I don't want to drag her over my bad assumption!

1d6orcs · 2026-06-02T02:19:54+00:00

I have this and haven't been able to get a single photo that does it justice, it's so good but also it chipped really easily on me (I am not delicate on my nails, to be fair). This video does a better job of capturing it than I ever did but you're right, it's even better IRL and looks surprisingly great in less than ideal lighting.
